Book Of Knowledge: Ogres was a Creature Codex book that provided the player with a skill point and lore on ogres. Before its removal, reading it was a skill challenge.
Book Of Knowledge: Ogres
Besides being one of the oldest races in the world, they also have the longest life spans, often reaching 300 years of age. Despite their longevity, ogres have little regard for history or religion, preferring to live in the moment.
This brutish race of creatures is perhaps one of the oldest in all of Tyria, predating even the arrival of humans.
Ogres generally keep to clan units and live in settlements known as kraals. They're natural herders and animal handlers, often taming fierce predators as pets. It's said that the more pets an ogre has, the higher his or her stature is in the ogre community.
