Ogrillons (pronounced: /ˈgrɪlʌnzo-GRIL-unz[7] or: /ˈɑːgrɪlʌnzAG-ril-unz[7]) were the result of orcs and ogres breeding.

Description[]

Ogrillons looked very similar to orcs.[4] Roughly 10% of ogrillons inherited the physical attributes of their ogre parentage and were clearly distinguishable from other orcs.[6]

Behavior[]

Ogrillons lived in tribes.[3] They often cooperated with orcs and were regularly used by orc groups as extra muscle.[6]

Despite little use for currency, ogrillons often considered gold coins lucky and most ogrillons carried coins with them.[6]

Although most ogrillons pursued barbarian or fighter roles, some chose to become shamans.[8]

Combat[]

Ogrillons thrived in combat and were uncomfortable and restless if not in a battle.[6]

Ecology[]

Ogrillons were carnivorous.[3]

History[]

As of 1370 DR, ogrillons were one of the many creatures used as slaves in Menzoberranzan.[9] At some point, the second house of Menzoberranzan (House Barrison Del'Armgo) owned roughly 250 slave ogrillons.[10]
