Creatures of Ithia Expanded: The Grey Rorg.

An Advanced Creature Profile by Vincent Groth.     

The Grey Rorg stand eighteen feet tall of light grey to brown hide. They are made from the bones of a Hork Rorg, can reproduce, and can’t survive outside of the Horde. Grey Rorgs have elongated arms, short stubby legs with wide feet like an elephant. They lack any form of body or head hair with thick brows and a boney ridge along the top of their heads. Grey Rorgs have visible eyes unlike the Hork Rorg with bulbous noses and large mouths with short crushing teeth for breaking down trees.  

The Grey Rorg is the weakest of the giants and besides their impressive strength lack the near impervious hide of the Hork Rorg. They are still quite durable but are far less effective than other giants. 

Grey Rorgs serve as shock infantry, light siege creatures, and for lumber clearance.  

The Grey Rorg is known for its uncreatively stupidity. They have poor joints but do not wear out even half as fast as the Hork. Grey Rorgs are easily confused and frenzy in combat making them a liability for formation fighting and thus are often sent ahead as vanguard to break lines before the rest of a Horde force engages, after the Rorgs are dead or have broken through the enemy lines.
