There is great variety in the Ogre species. They range in height from 6 feet to around 15 feet. At first glance, they may look lazy and fat, but they're actually incredibly strong.

Society

Ogre society is based on violence and domination. The Ogre with the brute strength to subdue every other Ogre in the tribe becomes the chieftain. This Ogre often takes to decorating himself garishly with whatever stolen armor he can get his hands on. Besides their own tribes, Ogres are often found employed as mercenaries, especially by the Goblin cartels, who see their extreme strength and slow wits as an asset.

Ogres prefer to live in mounds, which are little more than caves or piles of stone built around steam vents, they seem to prefer hot areas. Ogres are extremely destructive to their environment, and any area that they have lived in for some time can be distinguished by the piles of waste and excrement that they leave in plain view as well as the dismembered body parts of former foes.

The Two-Headed Ogre

Two-headed Ogres were created by the Orc warlock Gul'dan to give Ogres intelligence and cunning in addition to their formidable strength. Many of these ended up being trained as Ogre Mages, Warlocks or Shamans by Gul'Dan and his apprentice Cho'gall. The two-headed Ogre-Magi were some of the most feared troops the Horde fielded during the Second War. Two-headed Ogres are twice as intelligent as the standard Ogre (obviously) however, they can often appear as stupid or even more stupid than their single headed brethren if their heads don't get along with each other. Usually, the Ogre-Magi are the more intelligent ones, while standard Ogres will spend much of their time bickering. When the two heads work together however, these Ogres can be extremely dangerous, as evidenced by Cho'gall's own command of warlock magic. Two-headed Ogres generally occupy places of honor in Ogre tribes, and are also in high demand as mercenaries due to their increased intelligence. Two-headed Ogres generally have hyphenated or compound names designating each of the two heads. So Cho'gall for instance is a single being made up of the two sentient heads Cho and Gall.

The Two-headed Ogres of Azeroth are a Horde-born byproduct of the Second War. Created as mutations of natural Ogres by Gul'dan, the massive Two-headed Ogres of the Horde quickly became known (and feared) for their ability to do a large amount of physical and magical damage in a short amount of time. Like the Orcs, Ogres originally entered Azeroth from Draenor, bringing with them a strong sense of tribal loyalty as well as a natural inclination toward one-upmanship. With the addition a second personality within one body, these traits were compounded in the two-headed variety of Ogre: theyre fiercely loyal to the Horde, and theyre fiercely competitive with themselves, with one head always trying to outdo the other.

On April Fool's Day, 2004, Blizzard announced that "Two-headed Ogre" would soon be a new playable race in World of Warcraft.
