[[File:OgrynUnderboss.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Ogryn Underboss{{Fn|1d}}]]
Ogryns, typically loyal and docile abhumans[[abhuman]]s, are used extensively as [[slave]] labor labour and servitors [[servitor]]s on Necromunda, particularly by [[House Goliath]]. Their immense strength and resistance to corruption make them ideal for harsh [[manufactorum ]] work and brutal [[Pit Fighter|fighting pits]].{{Fn|1a}}
Despite their loyalty, some ogryns develop a sense of self and desire for freedom in the fighting pits, leading to the formation of rebellious gangs. These gangs, led by powerful leaders, often engage in mass slave rebellions and become outlaws.{{Fn|1a}}
Ogryn gangs are known to inhabit the [[badzone]]s, with frequent sightings by explorers and settlements sometimes encountering them. These gangs may occasionally ally with human pit fighters and outlaws, but they remain independent to avoid capture by [[guilder]]s or [[enforcerPalanite Enforcers|enforcers]]s. Famous ogryn leaders and gangs include the [[Metalheads]], led by [[Bull Gorg]], and the [[Ash Giants]], led by rogue Colonel [[Eli Dayz]].{{Fn|1b}}
==Organization==
Slave Ogryn gangs are primarily formed from [[abhuman]] [[pit fighter]]s, although occasionally factorum crews or [[Guild]]er bodyguards may also turn outlaw. These pit fighters are adept in close-quarters combat and use brutal gladiatorial weapons like [[Heavy Rock Drill|rock dril]]ls and [[Pit Slave Buzz Saw|buzzsaw]]s. While some Ogryns learn to handle ranged weapons, this is rare. The cramped spaces of the hive favor favour their melee combat skills, where their immense strength is a significant advantage.{{Fn|1b}}
Leadership is crucial for these gangs, with intelligent and strong-willed leaders holding the group together. These leaders are often former pit slaves or bodyguards. Some members (never the leaders) are B.O.N.C.E.s (Brain Obedient Neo-sapien Cybernetic Exo-workers) — heavily augmented ogryn mono-task servitors with limited free will but strong loyalty.{{Fn|1b}}
