Ringwaldt Ogre Types
Here we have 3 distinct types of Ogres
Domesticated are ones fed a high calorie diet without skimping making it more balanced. Thanks to the other... conditioning and to the innate magic in Ogres they grow a second set of arms and a second head.
This allows the ogre to consume these nutrients more effectively and the two heads to cooperate as a decidedly deadly combatant.
Occurring sporadically in the wild there is something distinct about the way that a young ogre is treated for them to become the ‘domesticated’ variety.
When fed a diet of alchemical items you get the Alchemical Ogre which develops the two heads but no secondary limbs.
The two heads fight for control each only having 1 arm all in all impacting the creatures capabilities as a fighter.
Most turns the Ogre should make uncooperative flailing attacks as the two heads fight for what they should do in any given moment.
When fed a diet of only elemental creatures in there youth an Ogre gains an elemental attunement once they mature.
This attunement allows the ogre upon swinging or throwing a weapon to unleash a burst of elemental energy from there bodies to those surrounding them.
Well not the most dangerous capability it makes it harder to gang up on this ogre especially with the powerful strength they posses.

Some deeper lore.
Ogres are said to be a degeneration of the Hill Giants a particular clan or clans which was cursed with there new form for loathsome acts so heinous to be not recorded.
This would explain many things about the Ogres and there forms some even speculate that they may have included giants of multiple clans or types which is why ogres can express elemental power.
Ogres insatiable hunger seems to stem from the curse the suspected cause by scholars points to a storm giant poem about feeding your guests the flesh of your son.... though highly speculative.
