The Lorekeeper's Tome

The Ogre Brute is what an ogre becomes when it survives long enough to grow into its full monstrous size and meanness: bigger, tougher, and more aggressive than its already-fearsome kin, scarred from the squabbles it has won. Where a common ogre might be lured or outrun, the Brute has the durability to weather a party's first answer and the fury to keep coming, and it often lords over a clutch of lesser ogres who defer to its strength. It is a wall of muscle that does not tire and does not reconsider.
