The ogre mage, like all oni, is an evil spirit come to the Material Plane and clad in living flesh – in this case, that of a brutish ogre. Ogre mages are often found serving as leaders of ogre tribes, yet not all of them seek to link their destinies to their less-intelligent kin. Some become lone marauders who hold villages hostage, demanding regular tribute in the form of gold, food, or maidens, lest they take more than they ask.
An oni mage stands about 10 feet tall and weighs up to 700 pounds. Its skin varies in color from light green to light blue, and its hair is black or very dark brown. Oni mages favor loose, comfortable clothing and lightweight armor.
Oni Traits
The oni are a diverse race of evil outsiders, of which the ogre mage is the most common. Other types of oni exist as well – evil spirits that clothe themselves in the flesh of other types of humanoid. The majority of oni are giants, with goblinoid, tengu, and reptilian oni being relatively common as well.
While oni are incredibly varied in their shapes and powers, they still share certain traits in common.
Regeneration: All oni regenerate, although the rate of regeneration varies. Damage from fire or acid can kill an oni.
Change Shape: All oni are shapechangers, but their ability to change shape is generally limited to creatures similar in shape to their true form.
Native: Oni are native outsiders. As evil spirits clad in mortal humanoid flesh, all oni also possess one of the humanoid subtypes – usually giant.

- At will: darkness, invisibility
- 1/day each: charm person, cone of cold, gaseous form, sleep
- Magic Weapons: The oni mage’s weapon attacks are magical.
- Regeneration: The oni mage regains 10 hit points at the start of its turn if it has at least 1 hit point.
Actions
- Multiattack: The oni mage makes two attacks, either with its claws or its glaive.
- Claw (Oni Form Only): Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 8 (1d8 + 4) slashing damage.
- Glaive: Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 15 (2d10 + 4) slashing damage, or 9 (1d10 + 4) slashing damage in Small or Medium form.
- Change Shape: The oni mage magically polymorphs into a Small or Medium humanoid, into a Large giant, or back into its true form. Other than its size, its statistics are the same in each form. The only equipment that is transformed is its glaive, which shrinks so that it can be wielded in humanoid form. If the oni dies, it reverts to its true form, and its glaive reverts to its normal size.
