It's definitely troll. Ogre have a lot more muscle in there.

There is zero muscle definition in ogres arms, shoulders, or chest. There might be muscle underneath but the top has a lot of fat.

Trolls on other hand are the only race in EQ you can actually see their ribs sticking through their flesh and they have clearly defined muscles in their arms/shoulders/chest. Though the males have a strange bloated abdomen, the females do not share that characteristic. That suggests some kind of feature of troll sexual dimorphism and not overall fat/muscle content. Unlike ogres who the females and males both look like stay puff marshmallow men with zero muscle definition anywhere to be seen.

I voted Ogre, but I disagree with the height assessments in the OP.

Comparing character models, Barbarians are a full head taller, probably more, than Humans. Barbarians are likely closer to 7ft tall.

Similarly, High Elves are noticeably taller than Half Elves who are noticeably taller than Wood Elves. High Elves are closer to Humans in height than they are to Wood Elves. If Humans are 6ft, then High Elves are probably close to that.

I don't understand all the walk about how ogres have a lot of muscle, so it can't be them. Muscle still plays a roll in BMI, and if two creatures are the same size but one is fat and one is muscle, the muscular one will be heavier and thus have higher BMI. Which is exactly why ogres win.

Just to be clear BMI doesn’t take into account muscle mass, this is one of the primary criticism of the index as it can rate more muscular individuals as obese. That being said my understanding is even with the inherent flaws their is a strong correlation with lower BMI scores and longer lifespans. /shrug

Anyway ogres are fat as eff, and proud!

It doesn't take muscle mass into consideration any more/less than it takes fat into consideration. The only consideration is weight. And because muscle is more dense than fat, individuals with more muscle mass will weigh more, and thus have higher BMI, than individuals of the same size who carry less muscle and more fat.

ok but why
