Then again, the best and most convincing Stormbull/Uroxi (a Poljoni) character I've seen was played by a young woman of calm temperament. Og the Horned, definitely wasn't (and isn't) an overplayed joke, but he was _very_ impressive, and deadly. The best part is that he was basically a rather calm and even gentle soul, but you didn't want to get him angry. (The character had been touched by the Bull as a child... quite literally, since he had been kicked in the head by a huge bull)
