As stupid as they are gluttonous, these hulking giants are known for their quick tempers. They live by raiding, scavenging, and killing for food and pleasure both.

Notes[edit section | visual editor]

  1. ↑ While Ogres are classified as Large (typically standing between 8 to 10 feet tall) rather than Huge or Gargantuan, their official creature type in the game is labled as 'Giant'. Ogres are recognized in broader D&D lore as as "giant-kin" and spells or items that target humaniods (e.g., Hold Person, Charm Person, and Crown of Madness) do not function against them.
