Captain Kromcrush is an ogre mini-boss found in Dire Maul North.

He is captain of King Gordok's elite forces of ogres and commands the fearsome guards that roam the ruins. He can be tricked by a party member wearing the Inv chest chain 14 [Gordok Ogre Suit] and talking to him; this will cause him to leave his post and allow the party to bypass him on their way to King Gordok.
