Due to the rotting state of the forest, plague has set in and creatures of the area that have not fled fast enough have succumb to a violent disease known to survivors as Dark Rot.

The longer the Ogre has been infected the more hidious it becomes, and the more immune to pain it is as its brain and nervs stop functioning. |
