The hulking monstrosities known as rat ogres are one perfect blend of death dealing creatures, made through a mixture of foul crossbreeding and sorcerous surgery. In their artificial making, many beasts are literally stitched together, the impossible feat accomplished through the fusing powers of a powerful warpstone-derived balm, the infamous skalm. A rat ogre combines the speed and ferocity of a skaven with the sheer brawn of an ogre. Somehow the desperate hunter of both races has been magnified as well for the rat ogre is a truly ravenous creature, forever seeking to gorge its fill on fresh meat.

Survival of the Fittest. Only the strongest rat ogres survive the terrible conditions that the packmasters impose upon them on birth, forcing them to compete for food and shelter. The ones that survive are little more than a mass of sinewy muscles and razor-sharp claws, moved only by their instinct to kill and completely dependant on the packmasters for guidance.

Maddened Creations. A rat ogre is incapable of almost anything except killing and warfare. After battle their packmasters must move quickly to carefully and separate each mindless brute to keep it from tearing others or even itself asunder. All rat ogres bear upon their tortured bodies countless scars not only from their own artificial making, but also numerous battles, the packmaster's cruel lash, the savage attentions of the rest of its pack, and most disturbingly of all, signs of their own self destruction. At the height of their rabid fury, rat ogres are known to rip and even devour hunks of their own flesh, as if they seek to tear apart what the skaven has so unnaturally stitched together.

gollark: Yes, essays bad.

gollark: I mean, also, I generally am not very good at English stuff. During our mock exams, I really struggled to write some essays in the 2-hour time we had and didn't think they were very good. And they weren't really, I got a 6.

gollark: I mean, GCSE maths isn't very hard. I don't even do that much revision.

gollark: Anyway, sometimes after maths tests and stuff I hear people talking about how they got 25% or something, and I think to myself... *how*?

gollark: I'm only providing vague details. Although they might be enough to uniquely identify me. Oops.
