The most drastic character design task for Everquest Dungeons was the Ogres. The time period of the game is set many years in the past before all the events fans of the Everquest franchise understand and remember. In EQD, Ogres are smart (before the gods cursed them to lose their intelligence) , have hair, and are war generals. The one element carried over is their blood rage represented as the red colored masks and helmets in the following designs. Another prominent design element is their scar tattoos.
The goal of female Ogre designs was to make them powerful but still feminine. In addition to making them war generals, the armor were designed to look as if they were constructed from the reptilian shells and skin taken from their surrounding habitat.
Color studies explored armor and skin color that will make the red masks and helmets a striking contrast to the overall character design.
