I wasn't really pleased with how the old Ogre Grunt looked. The little goblins already carried a spear weapon, and the proportions seemed a bit awkward. The new design really puts the Ogre Grunt into a different class. Now he's more of a brawler, sporting gauntlets similar to the final boss, but without any magical properties. The real threat from him will be his ability to soak up damage, and should he get close enough, he'll grab the hero and pummel him a handful of times before chucking him across the screen.

What do you think? Bigger art here.
