: Possible, but very unlikely. Taking into account the
: history of the trow and the role the oghre play in it,
: I find it very doubtful that, should the any of the
: oghre survive and return as mauls, no one in the
: entire myth world would have noticed and made mention
: of it. I mean, your trow allies never make mention of
: any similarity between the mauls and oghre. And if
: they were to learn that some oghre had survived, would
: they have taken up their iron weapons once again?
: Really, I think that any similarity between mauls and
: oghre is just artistic coincidence.
Furthermore, there isn't even a visual similarity between Mauls and Oghres in Bungie-produced material. You can check out the Oghres in the TFL comic and they look nothing like the Mauls; instead, they're a diverse and "goblinesque" race of humanoids which each have some unique pattern of deformities--a hump here, a bunch of horns there.
However, if Snackwell's asking for the Myth III perspective, I think MJ must have intended the Mauls to be descendants of the Oghres--their Oghres are much too close in appearance to Mauls for it to be a coincidence. How would they explain no one mentioning this fact in Myth II? Well, we never actually see Trow and Mauls on the same map, so I guess maybe it never came up; and most Humans other than Fallen Lords and the Heron Guard would have no idea what Oghres looked like. Sure, it's a stretch, but hardly the worst one in Myth III's plot. :-)
Incidentally, the Bungie plural of Oghre is Oghres. Myth III says Oghres sometimes, Oghre other times.
