Funnily enough, Orogs are nowhere to be found in the 3rd edition Monstrous Manual. They had me puzzled as well.

Maybe they weren`t carried over from 2nd Edition ??

An orog is a great orc - a magically-genetically-engineered orc.

orogs are the result of the union of a male orc and a female ogre according to 2nd ed. So they're half way between an orc and an ogre in toughness. They're supposed to look more like orcs though. In Pool of radiance they're very similar.

Isn't that an ogrillon, Draggor?

The unity between an orc and an ogre can result in two different creatures.

One of them is the orog. They look as bigger burlier orcs and do generally not have the greenish skin of their orc parents. They behave much like regular orcs theough their better physique tend to make them elite citizens compared to other orcs.

The other is the ogrillon that looks like an ugly stooped ogre. Ogrillons are rather dysfunctional creatures. Though they possess great strength and toughness they are incredibly dumb and savage. So dumb and aggressive that they can hardly even fit into orcish society. They don't really understand to use weapons so they attack with their fists and bite instead. They are almost constantly in a kind of beserker state making any form of social interaction with them nigh impossible. Many orcs opt to keep them chained when combat isn't around. Ogrillons generally have a very short lifespan and is nearly always killed in combat.
