Tainted Dango

Tainted Dango, often colloquially called Ogres, Trolls or Orcs, are Dango that have been exposed to Limryn's Taint. Tainted Dango retain their enormous size and stature, growing even larger than they were before exposure. Tainted Dango were a staple in Limryn's Horde, especially during the early stages before the arrival of Humans. After their arrival, Tainted Dango were used mainly as shock troops.

Tainted Dango were known for their hoarding of treasure and wealth. They were of relatively low intelligence, and were particularly barbaric in nature, grouping into tightly knit clans after the breaking of the horde. They were intelligent enough to wield weaponry, take orders, fashion crude armors and homes, and could communicate with one another through a series of grunts and hand gestures.

After the breaking of the Horde, the Tainted Dango fled to the hills and mountians, delving deep and creating crude tunnel networks, similar to their former Dango selves. They formed clans, and focused mostly on protection of their territory and the collection of vast hordes of treasure and wealth. Different Ogre Clans were known to fight one another for territory.

Tainted Dango are associated with the sin of Greed.

Abilities
Tainted Dango are larger than their former selves, and much stronger. They are known to be the most physically imposing beings in all of Haven. They often wield large swords, clubs, hammers, or axes into battle, and use them to great avail. It is almost impossible to parry an attack from a Tainted Dango. They are clumsy however, and a skilled ranger is often able to bring one down. They are able to take a remarkable amount of punishment before falling however.

Also, like regular Dango, Ogres are fantastic miners and diggers, and seem to naturally wish to live in the mountians. They seem to dislike the Subterrainian Highway and other preconstructed Dango structures, as they will only live in the extensive tunnel networks they create for themselves.

Tainted Dango do wear armor, but it is often crude and their weakest points are often still exposed.

Appearance
Upon exposure, the skin of the Dango turns a sickly green color, the body becomes far larger and wider, the lower set of teeth grow five fold, and the bodily musculature becomes far more pronounced, and the ears become pointed.
