In folklore, an ogre (feminine: ogress) is a legendary monster usually depicted as a large, hideous, man-like being that eats ordinary human beings, especially infants and children. Ogres frequently feature in mythology, folklore, and fiction throughout the world. They appear in many classic works of literature, and are most often associated in fairy tales and legend with a taste for infants. In reality, an ogre cares very little about what animal it is eating- as long as it is eating something. With massive size and girth, the huge ogres require vast quantities of calories in order to survive. Luckily, in the current world, ogres are much fewer in number than they were during the Age of Myths. Ogres are not overly intelligent, but are immensely strong, easily capable of lifting a thousand pounds or more. They prefer using blunt objects and it usually takes but a single blow from one of their weapons to completely annihilate a human body. They will also throw large rocks at prey and often take down game like deer via such a method. They are not necessarily evil, but are generally seen as such due to their lack of morality when it comes to their dietary consumption.

Absinthe Van Gothen encountered an ogre tribe in Oregon’s Forest National Park. The plague witch, Baba Yaga, had come to the area and began polluting the forest with her dark magicks. When confronted by the dryad, Draeope, the witch chased her away. The local druids, wielders of light magic, often met in the forest. Draeope asked them to aid her, and together, they attacked the foul witch. However, Baba Yaga proved more than a match even for the entire assemblage, and many of the light witches were corrupted. The druids became plague witches of the Coven of Yaga- clones of Baba Yaga herself. Then, they chased their former friends through the forests to corrupt them as well. This coven set to work in an attempt to build an army. The local ogres stood against the witches when they were encountered, but the magicks employed proved too powerful for the ogres to contend against. Broken, their numbers decreased, the ogres had no other option than to surrender.
