For example, the Monodominant faction within the Inquisition wants to exterminate all beings who are not pure humans, like Abhumans, mutants, Psykers, Navigators, Astropaths and Space Marines. Not all elements within the Imperium like them, because they are abhumans.
Furthermore, they are very strong, carry big guns (or other weapons) and can rip enemies in half with their bare hands, making them very useful on the battlefield. Exactly how much smarter they become is unclear.Īs for their acceptance, Ogryns are not very smart but very loyal, will follow orders to the letter and have an unshakable faith in the Emperor, seeing all orders given to them as having come from His Imperial Majesty himself. Ogryns that seem to be smart enough for this are tested and, if they come out as positive, undergo this treatment. This makes them more intelligent and capable enough to serve as sergeants called Bone'eads.
Ogryns being able to lead squads of their own kind is the result of the Biochemical Ogryn Neural Enhancement treatment, or the BONE treatment.
