This aquatic ogre
is generally faster, tougher, and fiercer than its land-based kin.
Aquatic ogres typically attack with a
piercing spear (2-12 points) in a swimming
charge at 1 to hit,
followed by melee
with talons and teeth.
Camouflage: Aquatic ogres use their
green coloration to hide (becoming effectively invisible 10-80% of the
time, depending on
terrain) and attack
from cover,
surprising 4 in 6.
Aquatic ogres dwell in relatively shallow
waters of 50-250 foot depth.
They lair in caves, often in association
with scrags.
They can survive out of water for up to
2 hours,
so they sometimes raid the land.
