Krug Games

For as long as anyone can remember, there have been Krug.

The Krug are enemies in the massively popular and influential video game Dungeon Siege. Does your game feature a bland, somewhat orcish group of enemies that you will mindlessly slaughter millions of across a playthrough, only vaguely remembering that they do have a name an NPC told you at some point, your eyes glazing over as you turn yet another into paste? Then buddy, you've got a krug game!
Whilst the concept of kruglike enemies did not originate with Dungeon Siege, "krug" is simply too perfect a name not to use. I won't include games where the enemies are actually named "orcs", since being off-brand is an inherent trait of krug. This means I sadly can't include Dark Messiah of Might & Magic, which is otherwise such a krug game that even the box art is centered on it. If you've sighted any krug, please mention it here so others are aware.

Awesome game, but the demons are extremely krug in spirit if not all visually. Look at the little fat lieutenant guys with the masks, those are some of the kruggiest dudes!
