Ogre

Ogre is a highly powerful monster that attacks with massively strong spells for its time. Dodging it isn't really optimal. It is huge and easy to defeat with two to three uses of Avalanche, despite the high stats.



In the remake, it's significantly easier, though just as hard to dodge. Despite some higher stats, it doesn't deal nearly as much damage due to a weaker spell and Physical attacks being nerfed.

Trivia

 * Ogre is enemy byte value 6 in the coding.
 * It seems to only be Water either due to being related to Merrow(a water ogre) or due to having a blue set of armor. It's Fire in the remake, which fits more to some degree. It does lose some of its fiery abilities in the remake in a twist.
 * Spriggan can be seen as a counterpart, due to being another giant. They also are both Water in the Nintendo 64 versions. Spriggan is however Wind in the remake.
 * Ogres are common enemies in Dungeons & Dragons, often being gigantic and extremely powerful. Half-Ogres also exist, though they are only larger size, usually around 8 or so feet.
 * Its bone club is using similar to a wand to focus its spellcasting. It finally get used as a physical attack in the remake.
 * This is one of the few monsters with a very distinct design. It has wings on its feet, a unique helmet, and even a mustache. It also wears a loincloth. Due to it dropping Giant's Shoes, the wings on the feet vastly fit. It's possibly it's slightly referencing Hermes.
 * Hermes' counterpart is Mercury, which is associated with Water to some degree as well. This may be part of why It's a Water monster. In addition, Hermes happens to be associated with the Tortoise.
 * Giant's Shoes is pretty much a a way to make travel easier, as it massively increases your walking space in battle. Winged sandals and other boots are a common item in various games, that allow you to go over water or speed up your walking.
 * This game is set in the European region, and one such NPC is named Leonitis, a direct reference to Leonidas(who has multiple similar names), a Greek human.
 * Ogres are also common monsters in various films. One such film is Time Thieves, which has two Ogre who eat humans. They live on a boat in Water. Another potential reference.
