Ogres can be found in virtually
any terrain, including subterranean
places.
They are ugly-tempered &&
voracious. <min. daily req. of food:
WSG>
Ogres are also fond of treasure,
and they will sometimes be found serving as mercenaries
in the ranks of orc tribes or evil clerics
or joining with
gnolls for a profitable raid.
Ogres mingle freely with
trolls
and some giants, and they are at times enslaved
by certain demons.
If
11 or more ogres are encountered, there will be one who is a leader
(AC 3, 30-33 HP,
attacking as a 7 HD creature and doing from 2-12
HP
damage/attack).

Lair: If ogres are
found in their lair there will be from 2-12 females who fight as normal
ogres but do only 2-8 points of damage and take a maximum of 6 HP per hit
die.
There will also be from
2-8 young who will fight as goblins.
Ogres will take prisoners
in order to use them as slaves (25%) or food (75%),
so there is a 30% chance
that an ogre lair will contain 2-8 slaves/prisoners. <slave
table>
As they are very fond of
halfling,
dwarf,
or elf flesh, there is only a 10% chance that such creatures will be found
alive in an ogre lair.
Ogres speak their own language as well as that of chaotic evil, orcs, trolls, and stone giants.
Description: The hide
of ogres varies from dull
blackish-brown
to dead yellow.
Rare specimens are a sickly
violet
in color.
Their warty bumps are often
of different color - or at least darker than their hides.
Hair is blackish-blue
to dull dark green.
Eyes are purple
with white pupils.
Teeth are black
or orange, as are talons.
Ogres wear any sort of skins
or furs. <cf. DMG>
They care for their arms
and armor reasonably well.
The life span of an ogre
is not less than 90 years.

Spell Casters : Shamen (C3 maximum).

To ogres and their ilk most
human weapons that they can use are one-handed.
I say that as barbarians
get d12 for HPs, then clearlly extrapolation of the same principle must
apply to large and vigorous creatures.
This mitigates the potential
increase in PC prowess.
As a matter of fact, adult
critters were assigned 7-12 HPs per HD in my AD&D
campaigm--have been given the same in what I have designed for the C&C
game system.
Also, with increase in damage
due to Strength, all large and powerful monsters, including ogres and giants,
gain a damage bonus equal to their number of HD.

It's always great to get
some insight into the "lost" 2nd edition AD&D! Thanks!
As
a ganeral rule I used HD = additional damage, half HD for the non-robust
individuals.
So an ogre would be 4d12
+ 1 HPs, with damage as +4 or +2.
A 1st level m-u with a Sleep spell could still count on taking out the orge.
Cheers,
