Capabilities

User with this ability either is or can transform into an ogre (feminine singular: ogress, plural: ogresses), beings which are usually depicted as large, hideous, humanoid monsters with unpleasant habits and personalities.

Ogres are often depicted as having a large head, abundant hair and beard, a voracious appetite, and a strong body, in modern descriptions these features are often exacerbated greatly. Mentally many ogres are persons who exploit, brutalize, harass or bully others, or at the very least they tend toward callous and rude.

Note however that ogres aren't necessarily stupid, many have perfectly human or even above human level intelligence and mental abilities. They are capable of learning and using many if not all the skills and powers that humans can, such as magic or social niceties if they gain advantage from it (many in fact ruled their own domains). Even the denser ones tend to be unnervingly cunning.

Some ogres in lore are known to be cunning tricksters having possession of knowledge and supernatural traits that other ogres do not have. Most common ones include, but isn't limited to, altering one's own form to be able to pass through and intermingle within most societies without notice.
