The Norg are Bactus' "grunts," the expendable soldiers in his war to claim Eternia for his own. The "Dogmen," as most Eternians know them, are truly more reptilian than canine. While their heads have the shape and ears of a dog, their skin is scaly, and a putrid yellowish hue. Normally cowardly, and prone to run from the slightest danger, they are vicious and deadly when joined with their brethren in large packs, and their stench alone has been told to cause many men to surrender.
