These Ogres look at lot like the Standard Ogre, but with a few exceptions.They have a propensity towards excessive drooling, and they are both larger than normal Ogres and have more body hair.

COMBAT :
The Ogres fights much like normal Ogres, but since they have an extremely high Strength of 19 (or more in rare members of species), they have the following exceptions: In Ogre form, they use large weapons which inflict 1D12+7 damage and they sometimes use a weapon/fist attack form.
This attack form inflicts 1D12+7, 1D10. However, this attack form is slow and clumsy and is at -2, -4 to hit and is therefore rarely used.
Sometimes they carry and use the following items:

Two-Handed Sword +1
Ogre Club +1
Ogre Mace +1
Ogre Axe +1
Halberd (or other Pole-arm) +1

In Were-form, the Ogres often use a claw/claw/bite attack form. This attack form inflicts 1D10, 1D10, 1D10+5, however, this attack form is slow and clumsy and is at -2, -4, -3 to hit, normally they only use their bite.
They Ogres also possess a Lycanthropic Disease which they can transmit in one of five ways:
( Each of the following methods of transmission has a percentage chance per hit point of damage of transferring the disease. This percent chance is listed inside parenthesis ).

1: In Were-Form, their bite can transfer the disease. (2%)
2: In Were-Form, their claws can transfer the disease. (1%)
3: In Ogre Form, their bite can transfer the disease. (1%)
4: In Ogre Form, their fists can transfer the disease. (1%)
5: In Animal Form, their bite can transfer the disease. (2%)

The Lycanthropic Disease that infests these Ogres is a highly virulent blood borne infectious disease and can be transferred through skin to blood contact; however, saliva to blood contact or blood to blood contact are the most prevalent forms of the spread of this rare disease.

HABITAT/SOCIETY :
Same as Standard Ogre with following exceptions:
Lycanthropic Ogres are never true Were-Beasts, the disease was passed to them from another Were-Beast. They usually only takes Were-Form once a month. This transformation to Were-Form usually occurs during a full moon and is usually involuntary.
Note: If full moon occurs more often, then it is probable that they will take Were-Form more than once a month.
Female Ogres are almost as strong as their male counterparts. They are only at a penalty of -1 for any and all actions or/and stats.

ECOLOGY :
Same as Standard Ogre with following exceptions: These Ogres are far more aggressive than normal Ogres. Lycanthropic Ogres will not attack other fellow Lycanthropic Ogres unless if there were a good enough reason for the attack. They seem to form more close-knit family groups which are based on blood-lines as other were-creatures do.
