“NO. Layers. Onions have layers. Ogres have layers. Onions have layers. You get it? We both have layers.” -Shrek. 2001.

Fatter than a troll, stronger than an orc, and towering above the goblin, the brutish ogre is kinfolk to all three, and fittingly serves as yet another one of these archetypal dungeon foes. As such, it's little surprise that ogreish variants can be found throughout the dungeon and its branches, clubbing all who dare cross paths with them.

O Ogre.png Ogre - While a bit of a glass cannon, ogres nonetheless remain one of the most dangerous early dungeon monsters. With little armor or evasion, their reputation comes backed up by the business end of the massive weapons they always carry.
