: Personally, I'd imagine that Mauls are a distinct

: Oghres were simply a more highly evolved form of Maul,

Hmmm well the Oghre in TWA are never armed with anything more than axes. We have yet to find out if they were reasonabally advanced or not before they were enslaved. And who knows... perhaps only the smallest and weakest Maul were sent to fight!
It could also be like black and white; Africans generally have curlier hair and larger jawbones, while whites have straighter hair and smaller jawbones. So perhaps it is the same thing... a millenia might have caused some evolutionary differences. I agree that it seems likely that they might just be less evolved Oghre, and more closely related to wild boars, but then again evolution seems to take part less in the world of Myth. Did the Trow evolve from stone, or the Ghol from...... uhhhhh mold? :)
: And let's face it, what kind of Maul is eloquent enough
: to call someone a race of consorts?
hehehe well the Oghre were described as loutish, and I suppose that the Ghol once had priestesses.... so perhaps their isolation in the cold wasteland (I imagine the trow would not let them trade) would cause a degrading in their society.
