An ogre king, O, is a type of monster that appears in NetHack. It is the strongest type of ogre, and can move faster than an unhasted player character.
The following information pertains to an upcoming version (3.7.0). If this version is now released, please verify that it is still accurate, then update the page to incorporate this information.
Ogre kings are now known as ogre tyrants, with "king" and "queen" being gendered titles.Contents
Generation
Ogre kings may be peaceful towards chaotic characters. They are generated with some gold and either a club (2⁄3 chance) or a battle-axe (1⁄3 chance), and can generate with offensive, defensive and miscellaneous items.[1] Ogre lords can grow up into ogre kings.
An ogre king may occupy the throne of a throne room generated at dungeon level 9 or deeper, and ogre kings can also be generated by the summon nasties monster spell.
Strategy
Ogre kings may prove surprisingly dangerous to a player character without speed, and their MR score of 60 makes impairing them with spells, wands and/or potions notably more difficult. Even decently-equipped players in the mid-game should treat them with caution.
Variants
SLASH'EM
In SLASH'EM, ogre kings hit as a +1 weapon.
GruntHack
In GruntHack, ogres are an eligible race for the various racial monsters that appear in the dungeon, including lords and kings.
dNetHack
In dNetHack, an ogre king may occupy the throne of a throne room; their court will contain ogre mages, ogre lords, ogres, orc-captains, Mordor orcs, tengu, trolls, and a random H giant humanoid.
Encyclopedia entry
Anyone who has met a gluttonous, nude, angry ogre, will not
easily forget this encounter -- if he survives it at all.
Both male and female ogres can easily grow as tall as three
metres. Build and facial expressions would remind one of a
Neanderthal. Its small, pointy, keen teeth are striking.
Since ogres avoid direct sunlight, their ragged, unfurry
skin is as white as a sheet. They enjoy coating their body
with lard and usually wear nothing but a loin-cloth. An elf
would smell its rancid stench at ten metres distance.
Ogres are solitary creatures: very rarely one may encounter
a female with two or three young. They are the only real
carnivores among the humanoids, and its favourite meal is --
not surprisingly -- human flesh. They sometimes ally with
orcs or goblins, but only when they anticipate a good meaty
meal.
