You have the power of darkness to open rifts between realms to summon creatures to do your bidding or otherwise go wild and destroy!
So who do you summon? Idk, some beefy giants and some goblins :L ... I understand in the context of the original game they were riffing on the Queen song of the same name(s) - and it's an allegory for the Faustian deal of evil for power... But you couldn't summon some greater demons or something with a little more pomp to them? Ogres and Goblins, really... this is your method? Well, I guess it worked for Tolkein. --- "Salt cures Everything!" My YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/Nirakolov/videos ... Copied to Clipboard!

I guess it's easier to control some semi-giants and rabid humanoids than like say a super being, idk.

Because ogres beat orcs beat goblins beat skaven... except in Goblin Slayer where ogres beat goblins beat orcs beat skaven.
I guess what I'm trying to say is skaven suck regardless. --- (\/)(\/)|-| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I would say maybe they softened "demon" in translation or something, but I guess there are already demons, devils, and imps or something IIRC.
"ogre" just means something different in the ogre battle world. reading about it, they are more like demon princes than standard ogres. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

Ogre tends to mean Monstrously Fearful creature... sometimes monstrously ugly, but fearful tends to match the most. So they'd be among the chieftans of the mundane demons - the equivalent of Halo Hunters --- "Salt cures Everything!" My YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/Nirakolov/videos ... Copied to Clipboard!

it reminds me of Blizzard, who kind of takes existing mythology and then mixes it up. the one that always annoyed me was that WoW wyverns are manticores, not wyverns.

Also, it's kidna funny that Ogres in Ogre Battle are such a big deal when there's legitimately griffons, wyrms, dragons and golems running amok
