-Ogre mages can be deceptively annoying to deal with: they always have access to the [[disappear]] and [[Haste self (monster spell)|haste self]] spells, and depending on the level they generate at, they will usually be able to cast [[drain strength]] as well, along with [[Destroy armor (monster spell)|destroy armor]] and potentially even [[curse items]]. A hero that lacks [[magic resistance]] will want to dispose of them at a distance if possible, and can take advantage of their lack of resistances, though their [[Magic resistance (monster)|MR score]] of 30 can make magic unreliable to this end.

-Due to what may be an oversight<ref>They aren't marked as G_NOGEN, but simply lack a frequency altogether.  See [[Source:SLASH'EM 0.0.7E7F2/monst.c#line2916]]; this is a property they share with [[shadow ogre]]s.</ref> these are not randomly generated. They will usually only be found in [[Grund's Stronghold]], where up to two may be generated. They can appear elsewhere due to [[polymorph]], and also in [[alignment|aligned]] levels and branches of the dungeon.
+Ogre mages are not randomly generated, though they are a valid form for [[polymorph]], are flagged to never appear in [[Gehennom]] and may be generated as peaceful towards chaotic heroes&mdash;this is most likely due to an oversight, since they are not flagged as <tt>G_NOGEN</tt> and lack a frequency rating altogether (a trait shared with the [[Shadow ogre (SLASH'EM)|shadow ogre]]).{{refsrc|monst.c|2932|version=SLASH'EM 0.0.7E7F2}} Ogre mages can still generate randomly in other aligned [[dungeon branches]].

-They don't have enough hit dice to cast the more threatening spells, but are quite capable of [[curse items|cursing your items]].  You may therefore want to kill them at range, particularly if you lack [[magic resistance]].
