Despite of being a Rat Ogre, Rocco Spineripper is actually quite gentle-mannered, so much in fact, that he was almost thrown off the team for his reluctance to enter fights. However, while playing an unfortunate wood elf team, Rocco's coach discovered that Rocco suffers from a most curious allergy. Whenever the scent of smelling salts reaches Rocco's nostrils he flies into a murderous rage. As the wood elf coach found out when his apothecary had revived one of his players with smelling salts and Rocco flew into a rage and immedeatly killed the wood elf team's best player and went on to hurt two more elves severely.

Since then coach Gracehoper has deliberately begun to trigger Rocco's allergy before matches. However, elven coaches should take care, as the scent of the smelling salts used by elvish apothecaries invokes a particularly potent reaction when Rocco gets the scent of it.
