{{{description}}} This ogre stands taller than its grotesque kin, and its sunken, crimson eyes and pallid skin fill you with a sense of unease. It wields a longsword covered with serrated teeth in one hand and a wavy-bladed dagger in the other. Its mouth lolls open, revealing a forked, black tongue. The potential to become a blutsauger (or “bloodsucker”) is within every ogre, but can only be unlocked through profane sorcery. Some blutsaugers are ogre vampire spawn, blessed with dark power by their undead masters, but most are ogres transformed by a foul ritual called the Rite of Thirst. The resulting abomination lacks a vampire’s clever mind and lust for dominance, and is actually an obedient and easily-tamable servant, like a brutish, bloodthirsty animal.
