Ogroth

Physiology
Ogroth are a large, powerful, and upright standing species of monster. Not as heavily built as their distant Brumog cousins, they have the build of a sprinter rather than a wrestler. Ogroths have much longer legs than their mountain dwelling relatives and use their legs to run and jump. The Ogroths hide is mainly covered in small uniform scales and it also has a large mane of fur on its back. The tail of an Ogroth is much longer than its relatives and rat like in appearance.

Abilities
A Ogroth is capable of using many parts of its body for simple yet highly effective bashing attacks such as its arms, claws and legs. Ogroths are also known to simply trample hunters by running over or jumping on them. Ogroths are able to produce a highly neurotoxic venom and foul smelling odor when they feel threatened.

Behavior
Ogroths are normally very shy and reclusive creatures but can be very territorial when threatened. They normally flee from hunters until attacked and only then will they become aggressive.

Habitats
Ogroths thrive in swamp and marshland environments where plenty of detritus and fungi grow.
