I added a new section in the first post about who the leader of the Stonemaul Clan should be. That of course would be Tharg:
Tharg is hinted at the end of the Stonemaul Ogre questline being the next leader by Draz’Zilb, a very smart two-headed Ogre Mage in the clan who also mentions he would make a great leader. Tharg’s age and injuries were mentioned as concern, however:
“Mok’Morokk is not fit to lead us. Tharg would make an excellent leader but is hindered by his injuries and age.”
Regardless, Tharg seems like the best choice for the Stonemaul Leader. He has a good heart, and even is angry at Mok’Morokk at caring about power over the clan:
“Mok’Morokk was made Overlord by Rexxar. He care more for power than he care for ogres.”
As such, I don’t expect Tharg to become yet another corrupted leader of the Stonemaul Clan. Maybe the Horde could give him some stuff to help with his injuries, or maybe a nice relaxing hot spring somewhere to soak in would work.
Interestingly, his Wowpedia page mentions him having a deceased wife:
Said wife was killed by the Black Dragonflight, likely when they chased the Stonemaul from their home.
What this means is that the Stonemaul Clan does have female Ogres within it, despite only showing male Ogres in-game. So we now have another instance of female Ogres existing in Warcraft.
I’ll have to look at all the quests and flavor text regarding the Stonemaul at some point to see where it mentions Tharg’s wife, as I don’t recall seeing it being mentioned in-game. Might have just been something I missed, though. So far, that seems to be the only mention of female Ogres in the Stonemaul Clan, but if anyone knows of any other mentions, please share!
Dream big, Ogre fans!
