Special abilities:

• Spellcaster (Bloodlust)

Ogre and Ogre Mage are level 4 creatures of Stronghold town. They are recruited from the Ogre Fort.

"Wielding great wooden clubs, ogres and ogre mages deal good damage and are very durable. Ogre magi can cast the Bloodlust spell on any allied troop, once per round." ^{RoE manual}

Tactics and info

Ogre Magi cast Bloodlust three times per battle at the advanced level.

Though hindered by their slow speed, Ogres and Ogre Magi have the highest attack and health of any 4th level unit in the game. However, their defense is still low.

Heroes with a specialty

Vey the Battle Mage,
Krellion the Barbarian and
Boragus the Barbarian have ogres as a specialty, which increases the attack and defense skills of any ogres or ogre magi for each level attained after 4th level and gives them a speed bonus of 1.

Trivia

In one of the Armageddon's Blade teasers, the Ogre was shown shooting a beam of energy from his club towards a Dendroid. The reason for that is because the teaser animations were already done and were supposed to show a Stinger or Bruiser instead, the Forge version of the Ogre, which bore a rocket launcher or Bazooka. However, due to fan backlash, they had to change the Forge creatures into "regular" creatures, and so the teaser became somewhat off-topic with ranged Goblins, a Minotaur and an Ogre guarding the Varn 1904 Vault where the Armageddon's Blade was kept.

The Ogre in one of the Armageddon's Blade wallpapers is in fact a Bruiser or Stinger, defeated by Gelu. You can also see the laser-pointer of one of them in a wallpaper featuring Mutare in dragon-form.

-== Special abilities and info ==
+Though hindered by their slow speed, Ogres and Ogre Magi have the highest attack and health of any 4th level unit in the game. However, their defense is still low.
-Faerie Dragons' main attack method is to cast offensive spells. A stack of faerie dragons can cast up to five spells per combat. The spells are randomly chosen for the stack, and the occurrence probabilities can be seen from the table on the left. The spells are cast with advanced expertise, and with spell power equal to five times the number of faerie dragons in the stack. If commanded to attack an enemy that is immune to the spell they are currently preparing, they will use a melee attack instead.
-While fighting on [[cursed ground]], Faerie Dragons can cast all the spells, but they cause no damage. The only effective spell is [[Magic Arrow]].
+== Heroes with a specialty ==
+*{{H|Vey|Battle Mage}},
+*{{H|Krellion|Barbarian}} and
+*{{H|Boragus|Barbarian}} have ogres as a [[Specialty#Creature_specialties|specialty]], which increases the attack and defense skills of any ogres or ogre magi for each level attained after 4th level and gives them a [[speed]] bonus of 1.
-Faerie Dragons have a 20% chance to reflect targeted spells with Magic Mirror. Faerie Dragons ignore the Orb of Inhibition in some stances of combat i.e. they cast offensive spells despite the presence of the orb.
+== Trivia ==
+In one of the {{ab}} teasers, the Ogre was shown shooting a beam of energy from his club towards a [[Dendroid]]. The reason for that is because the teaser animations were already done and were supposed to show a Stinger or Bruiser instead, the [[Forge]] version of the Ogre, which bore a rocket launcher or Bazooka. However, due to fan backlash, they had to change the [[Forge]] creatures into "regular" creatures, and so the teaser became somewhat off-topic with ranged [[Goblins]], a [[Minotaur]] and an Ogre guarding the [[Varn 1904 Vault]] where the [[Armageddon's Blade (Artifact)|Armageddon's Blade]] was kept.
-== Appearance ==
-Faerie Dragons were added in {{ab}} so there are no Faerie Dragons or [[Magic Forest]]s in {{roe}}. They also prominently appear in the [[Faerie Dragons]] scenario from the [[Dragon Slayer]] campaign in {{ab}}.
-== {{hota}} ==
-Faerie Dragon's [[AI Value]] was increased to 30501.
-== Trivia ==
+The Ogre in one of the {{ab}} wallpapers is in fact a Bruiser or Stinger, defeated by [[Gelu]]. You can also see the laser-pointer of one of them in a wallpaper featuring [[Mutare]] in [[Dragon|dragon-form]].
-Even though in the game files themselves the Faerie Dragon and other neutral dragons are considered to be level 7, the official editor shows they are level 10 (8 for Faerie Dragon). This is either due to code limitations and impossibility of creating a unit with tier higher than 7, either because the developers didn't have time, motivation or reason to add a new creature level in the game code and invest time in that, just telling us they are level 10, respectively 8. As such, even now their levels are still being debated.
