The ogre uses its Enlarge or Cured Meats. It then makes two attacks. Morningstar. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 13 (2d8 + 4) piercing damage, or 17 (3d8 + 4) piercing damage while enlarged. Javelin. Melee or Ranged Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft. or range 30/120 ft., one target. Hit: 11 (2d6 + 4) piercing damage, or 14 (3d6 + 4) piercing damage while enlarged. Enlarge (Recharges after a Short or Long Rest). For 1 minute, the ogre magically increases in size, along with anything it is wearing or carrying. While enlarged, the ogre is Huge, adds one damage die of the weapon's damage die to its damage dice on Strength-based weapon attacks (included in the attack), and makes Strength checks and Strength saving throws with advantage. If the ogre lacks the room to become Huge, it attains the maximum size possible in the space available. Cured Meats. The ogre and up to three creatures it can see within 30 feet of it each magically regain 10 (3d6) hit points. A creature that regains hit points in this way has advantage on the first Strength-based attack roll or ability check it makes before the end of its next turn. This action has no effect on constructs and undead.

Some ogres are known to keep herds of cattle, with a particular preference for bulls for their strength, which leads other ogres to call them bull priests. Many of these ogres started their herds by stealing cattle from smaller farmers, but rather than eating them immediately, happened to have a startling thought that while eating a single cow now means food now, keeping a few cows around and not eating them would in time lead to more cows, which could be eaten or milked to ensure a steady supply of food, useful not only for survival but also for enticing the aid of other ogres with tending the cattle. Among themselves, bull priests rank each other based on the size of their herds and the quality of the beasts, though because their grasp of animal husbandry isn't the finest, they have been known to let captives survive if they share knowledge in this field. Some bull priests keep herds of monsters, such as gorgons or minotaurs, though this rarely ends well for the ogre in question. The term priest is more than merely a title, as the ogre bull priests wield some magical power, most notably the ability to grow to giant size. Additionally, those who eat meat prepared by a bull priest find themselves supernaturally invigorated, as their wounds knit themselves shut at a rapid pace and they feel a surge of strength.
