	'''Fearless and Mighty.''' In the myths, it is said that Bahgtru was out hunting when he was surprised by the mightiest of the {{srd5lc\|Behir}}s, one with hundreds of legs. In a flash, Bahgtru was wrapped in the creature's coils and gripped by its legs. No one had ever escaped the grasp of the behir, but Bahgtru saw this as the ultimate test of ~~his~~ strength, and ~~laughed at his good fortune. One by one, Bahgtru broke the behir's legs,~~ and freed himself from its clutches. The creature's shrieks became the lightning of the storm, and its broken femur became the symbol of Bahgtru's followers, reminding them that anything can be broken and defeated by superior strength.

	'''Competing in Cruelty.''' Most young orcs that an explorer or an adventurer might encounters are followers of Bahgtru. Orcs of Bahgtru continually try to prove their superior strength and endurance through cruel contests against their tribe mates, acts of unprovoked belligerence, and great success in battle. It is through these tests of strength that Bahgtru's followers prove which among them will eventually be worthy of Gruumsh's unwavering gaze.
