 ==Strategy==
-By themselves, ogre lords are not much more threatening than standard ogres, but may appear among a group of them if one of the ogres generates with a [[potion of gain level]]. They are somewhat faster than normal ogres and move at the same speed as an unhasted player character, and their [[Magic resistance (monster)|MR score]] of 30 is enough to potentially resist effects from spells and wands.

 {{encyclopedia|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.|[ The Book of Rules; The Eye of the Master]}}
