Ogre

Ogres (オーガ, Ōga) are a horned humanoid Liminal species that possess the notable feature of not only great size, but phenomenal strength.

While many of their depictions in mythology may not hold true to how they are in reality, Ogres are indeed very tall in stature, ranging from two to three meters (6'6"-9'10"), and possess incredible strength. Thought to live in mountainous areas or wastelands, most Ogres have a single large horn protruding from their head and tend to have thick, tanned skin. Despite their large size, many ogres are laid-back and carefree.

Physiological Attributes

 * Strength: Ogres are famous for their enormous strength, able to carry objects made for their size with no problem, and can chuck heavy metallic items such as a vending machine with ease.
 * Horns: Ogre horns are for show, as the horns connect directly to the skull, thus making them quite sensitive to the touch. In response to this, their helmets have to be specially made to allowing in their horns.
 * Size: Ogres are also known for their intimidating heights, and backed up with their formidable strength, makes them a force to be reckoned with. Despite this, they have lax and gentle personalities.
 * The size of Ogres have the detrimental side-effect of requiring expensive updates to their wardrobes, as their sizes can be too big for anything humans have made and thus have to be custom-made.

Oni


Oni (鬼) are a smaller Ogre subspecies. Aside from their colorful skin ranging from red to blue and two small horns, Oni are genetically no different from standard Ogres. Standing only two meters tall (6'6"), they are slightly smaller than Ogres, making them the smallest of the Ogre subspecies, though they are still larger than the average human.

Red Oni are thought to be crybabies and Blue Oni are considered self-sacrificing, but it is unclear whether or not there is any truth to these claims. It is customary for Oni to dress in tiger-striped clothes.

Kinu is an Oni of the red variety.

Trolls
Trolls (トロル, Tororu) are a very muscular Ogre subspecies. Stronger and larger than regular Ogres, Trolls can reach heights over three meters tall (9'10"). They have a greenish brown skin and one or two short, thick horns on their head. They have long, protruding lower canines. Both males and females are extremely well-muscled with massive limbs, but like standard Ogres, they are easy-going and carefree.

Because they are physically much larger than humans, they are unable to wear most clothes, leading to concerns regarding their inability to dress fashionably.

Gigantes
Gigantes (ギガンテス, Gigantesu) are an incredibly large Ogre subspecies. The largest known species to date, Gigantes averagely reach heights of over ten meters (about 32'7"). Because of this, Gigantes are truly giant. Because they can easily injure humans with their massive bodies if they are not careful,they spend their time quietly holding still if they have nothing to do.

Fashion is no concern to Giganti, as practically no clothes are large enough for them to wear, so they dress themselves in whatever rags they can to preserve some sense of public order and decency. They are not known to attack other creatures.

Trivia

 * The behaviors of the ogres and their subspecies being peaceful in the Monster Musume universe contrasts their counterparts from myths and legends (especially Trolls and Giants) in being violent and man-eating humanoids.
 * If these legends and myths also exist in the world of Monster Musume, it is possible that they are based on prejudices against the Ogres because humans were afraid of their strength and otherness, similar to the prejudices about the Lamia and Arachne.
 * Although Kinu's secrets states that an Oni can have either one or two horns, all Onis (including background characters) that have appeared in the series so far have two horns. This can be seen as another distinguishing feature between them and Ogres, in addition to their smaller size, as Ogres have only one horn.
