-The '''shadow ogre''' is a monster added in [[SLASH'EM]]. They normally only appear in [[Grund's Stronghold]]. They are similar to [[ogre king]]s, but have a slightly higher base level and possess a [[drain life]] attack.
+A '''shadow ogre''', {{monsym|shadow ogre}}, is a type of monster that appears in [[SLASH'EM]] and [[SlashTHEM]]. The shadow ogre is a type of [[Ogre (monster class)|ogre]] that is even stronger than the [[ogre king]], and is similarly treated as an [[overlord]] to his kind.
 ==Generation==
-Shadow ogres are not randomly generated; they appear only in Grund's Stronghold or possibly via polymorph.  This may be due to an oversight, as they are not actually marked as not being generated, but lack a frequency altogether.{{refsrc|monst.c|2931|version=SLASH'EM 0.0.7E7F2}} Normally, monsters that lack a frequency but do not have the "not randomly generated" flag can still appear in [[alignment|aligned]] branches of the dungeon; however, shadow ogres are also marked as appearing only in [[Gehennom]], which is unaligned, so they will not appear there either.
+Shadow ogres are not randomly generated, though they are a valid form for [[polymorph]] and are flagged to appear only in [[Gehennom]]&mdash;this is most likely due to an oversight, as they are not flagged as <tt>G_NOGEN</tt> and instead lack a frequency rating altogether.{{refsrc|monst.c|2931|version=SLASH'EM 0.0.7E7F2}}
 ==Strategy==
-Shadow ogres can be fairly dangerous: they are faster than an unhasted player, and hit fairly hard.  If you lack [[magic cancellation]], their life-draining touch can be devastating, although less so than those of a [[star vampire]].  They lack any resistances, so [[attack wand]]s are a good option if you feel threatened.
+Shadow ogres can be fairly dangerous, since they move faster than an unhasted and unburdened hero and have a base [[AC]] of 0, and on top of their high weapon damage they can also devastate the hero with their life-draining touch, unless they possess [[drain resistance]] or at least [[Magic cancellation (3.4.3)|MC3]]. Thankfully, shadow ogres lack any other defenses beyond a formidable [[Magic resistance (monster)|MR score]] of 60, and a hero can use [[attack wand]]s and [[poison]]ed [[projectile]]s to bring down an approaching shadow ogre before it can get within melee range, or even use a [[wand of death]].
