Ogres – are very large and have powerful very heavily muscled builds with broad shoulders and very large hands, there is no quit in an ogre, they can often be found with mixed parties of other monsters. The average ogre runs 9-10 feet tall and weighs around 700-800 lbs.
Trolls – Most trolls that adventurers will encounter run from 7-10 feet tall and weigh from 300-600 lbs. They look nothing like most illustrations I have seen, the most common troll has a black or blue-black glossy rubbery hide; however there are many different types of trolls, some of which have long hair that changes color with the season and the location they are found. Trolls, like dragons, are immortal unless they die by violence. Although rare there are rumors of trolls that are 10's of thousands of years old or even older. The average troll is a mindless hungry eating machine that feeds and sleeps. But it is said that if they live long enough that their intelligence grows to the point that they become sentient and thus obtain the skills and craftiness to grow older. If pieces of a troll are separated by at least a mile each piece will grow into a complete troll.
