In the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game, an orog is a crossbreed between an female orc and a male ogre. Orogs usually live among orcs; they are stronger than orcs, but are typically less intelligent.
Variants on the orog include the neo-orog and the ogrillion; the later being the stunted offspring of a male orc and a female ogre.
In the Forgotten Realms setting, Orogs were an orc tribe who became cut off from their mountain home after a great attack into the civilised world, they eventually found a way into the Underdark and hid from there Elven and human enemies. They remained in the Underdark for thousands of years, fighting deniziens of that terrible realm all the time. Eventually they became superior in strength and personality to normal mountain Orcs.
