In the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game, Bahgtru is the orc deity of Strength and Combat. The son of Gruumsh and Luthic, Bahgtru has been described as "awesomely stupid."
In many campaign settings, the orcish pantheon of gods consists of the leader Gruumsh, as well as Bahgtru, Ilneval, Luthic, Shargaas, and Yurtrus.
Bahgtru lives in the orcish realm of Nishrek.
[edit] Clergy and temples
Bahgtru's priests wear loincloths and nothing else. His sacred animal is the ox. His holy days are on battle days, and services to honor him must be conducted on a battlefield. The bones of orcish enemies are sacrificed to him before battle.
