 An ogre (feminine: ogress) is a legendary monster depicted as a large, hideous humanoid being that eats ordinary humans, especially infants and children. Ogres frequently feature in mythology, folklore, literature, and fiction throughout the world, and are most often associated with fairy tales and legend. Ogres are also sometimes depicted with disproportionately large heads, abundant hair, unusually-colored skin, a voracious appetite, and a strong body. Tales featuring well-known ogres include "[[wikipedia:Puss in Boots|Puss in Boots]]" and "[[wikipedia:Hop-o'-My-Thumb|Hop-o'-My-Thumb]]".

-Ogres are quite strong, but generally slow and can easily be picked off from a distance, especially with [[projectile]] weapons. Characters without the AC or weaponry to try and best an ogre in melee combat may prefer projectiles, though be mindful that ogres can often generate with wands. Wands themselves are a good option to use against ogres, since they lack any [[Magic resistance (monster)|MR score]].

-Barbarians on their quest will want to be particularly mindful of the potential for wands - the flipside of this is that ogres make a good source of loot if they can be dispatched reliably and quickly. Ogre [[corpse]]s are also a decently good source of nutrition for players and any carnivorous [[pets]].
