Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes

OGRE CHAIN BRUTE

An ogre chain brute wields a great spiked

chain. It swings this chain with both

hands in a wide circle around itself to

knock foes off their feet. Alternatively, it

can swing the chain in a crushing over-

head smash that's nearly impossible to

block or deflect.

OGRE HOWDAH

The most unusual of the specialized

ogres , the howdah carries a palisaded

wooden fort on its back. The fort is big

enough to serve as a fighting platform for

up to four small humanoids. Ogre how-

dahs are most often seen bearing goblins

equipped with bows and spears into bat-

tle, but they could just as easily transport

kobolds, deep gnomes, or other human-

oids of similar size.
