Lore:Ogrim
Ogrim (or Ogrims) are large dim-witted Daedra with very little intellect,[1] which are describable as "fat-faced ogres".[2] They are chiefly sent into the mortal world to menace living things for the amusement of Daedra Princes. Ogrim are primarily associated with Malacath.[1][3] They are sturdy and powerful,[4] and can regenerate health by pounding their chests.[5] For clothing, most Ogrim wear minimal garments such as modesty cloths,[6] though the higher-ranking ones are often suited in armor.[7] Due to their immense weight, belly spoons made from curved piece of obsidian are used in easing Ogrim torsos into armor or through narrow doorways.[8] Tooth sharpener picks are made specifically for cleaning out the stubborn crevices between ogrim teeth.[9] Many of them wear jewelry including nipple piercings,[10] nipple caps adorned with copper,[11] and nose shackles etched with jagged runes that signify an Ogrim's obeisance to a Daedric master.[12]
Every Daedric Prince is said to possess legions of Ogrims among other common Lesser Daedra.[13] Sanguine uses ogrim as bouncers for his parties.[14] Ogrim are also known to serve Molag Bal and Mephala.[15][16] Molag Bal often employs them as guards[5] and torturers.[17][18] The lumbering ogrim is cruel, often entertaining itself by tormenting its underlings.[5] Ogrim Toss is a game where a crude ball is kicked around by ogrims, though it is unclear if it has any actual rules.[19]
