| + | '''Ologs''' are the largest, and arguably most powerful subrace, of not just the orcs, but of descendant kind in general. Almost exaggeratedly suited for the warlike way of life for orcs, it is rare to find an Olog whitewashed, or not integrated within orcish cultures. The history of Ologs in general is a topic for which no clear answer is present. Though it was argued in ages past that Ologs appeared when trolls and orcs mated, there exists no evidence to prove such a theory, and given there has been no findings of any troll crossbreeds amongst any other race, it is widely dismissed. Whether through excessive inbreeding, generations of selective husbandry, or simple natural adaptation or mutation, Ologs have become quintessential parts of orcish culture.

Skin Coloration
The Ologs are not identifiable by a single broad coloration, but rather by a wide range of many relatively “unnatural” skin colors relative to the other races. Typically Ologs come in shades of green, brown and red, with other colors such as blue, black and even purple being much more rare or typically indicative of a special lineage.

The average Olog middles at around 9 to 8 feet tall, owing to the extra strain of gravity upon anyone taller than 9 feet tall.
Weight
Ologs in general exhibit a stocky build, this is in part due to their wider bone structure, and likewise due to the species’ genetic and societal proclivity towards obesity and corpulence. Though a Olog with a healthy amount of body fat would weigh roughly 500-650lbs, and with the leanest of Ologs managing weight as low as 400lbs, the average Olog (owing to their nature to both overeat and be overfed) can manage up to 920lbs; any greater weight making the Olog liable to heatstroke, heart attacks, debilitating joint pain, diabetes, and other debilitating health issues.
