→Ogryn Slaves
==Other Variations==
===Ogryn Slaves===
Ogryns are incredibly strong, durable, and remarkably loyal, making up for their lack of intelligence.{{Fn|43d}} This strength and diminutive durable nature makes Ogryns desirable [[slave]]s throughout the Imperium.{{Fn|43b}} Ogryn slaves often make up large portions of slave populations dedicated to heavy labour, such as in mining operations{{Fn|43c}} or heavy industrial labour in hive city factorums. They are slow to learn news tasks, but once a lesson is understood it sticks in their minds forever.{{Fn|43d}} Like most abhumans, they are treated as subhuman, and slavemasters often command their human slaves to not treat abhumans as anything approaching equals.{{Fn|43a}}
On worlds like [[Necromunda (planet)|Necromunda]], Slave Ogryn runaways are sometimes taken in from their previous slave-labour roles to instead work in [[holdfast|Squat holdfast]]s.{{Fn|43c}} There they work side by side with the [[Squat]] prospectors as fellow excavators or ore extractors, as well as fighters. In the Necromundan wastes, there are several holdfasts of the Squats having a significant population of Ogryns, whom they treat as equals.{{Fn|43d}}
