A huge ogre with two heads on top of a bloated ogre body. It is capable of holding a weapon in each giant hand. “The little princess, asleep in her cradle, floated on the water, and at last she was cast up on the shore of a beautiful country, where, however, very few people dwelt since the ogre Ravagio and his wife Tourmentine had gone to live there-for they ate up everybody. Ogres are terrible people. When once they have tasted raw human flesh they will hardly eat anything else, and Tourmentine always knew how to make some body come their way, for she was half a fairy.” -Marie-Catherine Le Jumel de Barneville, Baronne d’Aulnoy, “’Orangier et l’Abeille”. 1697. “NO. Layers. Onions have layers. Ogres have layers. Onions have layers. You get it? We both have layers.” -Shrek. 2001.

Tips & Tricks

• Two-headed ogres hit significantly harder than their single headed counterparts. It is fully possible for fragile characters encountering them before Lair to receive lethal damage if they spend a single turn in melee with one.
• Tukima's Dance can be very useful against two-headed ogres.

History
