 Ogres are dangerous early monsters which often appear alone beginning on D:3, and in packs with [[two-headed ogre]]s and [[ogre mage]]s later on. They usually wield [[giant club]]s or [[giant spiked club]]s, but some may carry [[great mace]]s or [[dire flail]]s instead.
-Low level characters should be warned that ogres, combined with their weapons, deal enormous damage per hit (potentially up to 37 HP), easily able to one-shot weaker characters. However, they have no resistances, and give a fair amount of experience.

 ==Tips & Tricks==
 *Apart from being very strong, ogres have no special abilities.
-*If encountered early, they're an excellent target for attack wands and darts; they have poor evasion and low Will so they can be easily taken out.
+*Ogres have poor [[AC]], [[EV]], and [[willpower]], so all sorts of ranged attacks can kill one.
-*If you are going to fight them in melee, softening them up at range or [[hexes|hexing]] them first is also advisable.
+**[[Poisoned]] [[dart]]s - get a few poison stacks, then before it gets to melee range, start [[kiting]]. Getting an ogre to "extremely poisoned" (3 poison drops in Tiles) is likely to kill, sometimes you won't need that much poison.
-*Unless you are a [[naga]] or [[barachi]], remember that you can just walk away from them, retreat upstairs and choose a different stair to avoid them. They cannot do anything to you if you're not next to them.
+**Most [[wand]]s let you blast or disable the ogre. If you're moderately lucky, spamming a [[wand of flame]] from 7 tiles of range can get the kill.
-*Ogres swing slowly. If you let an ogre swing at you once, then back off, you can create enough space to retreat.
+**[[Curare]] slows the ogre, allowing you to kite or escape it.
-**Conversely, if you swing, then back off, then ogres will simply attack you less.
+*Unless you are a [[Naga]] or [[Barachi]], remember that you can just walk away from them, retreat upstairs and choose a different stair to avoid them. They cannot do anything to you if you're not next to them.
