Giant · 2 hexes · SM +1 Ogre (Monsters on Automatic; answers SRD 3.5, SRD 5.1)
Ten feet of appetite with a club. Ogres are slow, stupid, foul-tempered and enormously strong, and a fight with one comes down to arithmetic: sooner or later it connects, and whoever it connects with stops being a combatant. They take a toll on roads, eat what they take, and do not entertain a second offer.

- Description
- Written by Dungeons on Automatic, released under cc_by_4_0
- Independently authored GURPS build. The SRD supplies the creature identity this record answers to and nothing else: no SRD statistics, wording or presentation is reproduced, and no third-party GURPS conversion was used as an input.
- Answers the SRD heading(s): Ogre (SRD 5.1); Ogre (SRD 3.5).
- Racial template: 48 points across 13 traits, plus 4 racial skill(s) worth 18 points.
- Every trait is drawn from the project's controlled GURPS vocabulary in scripts/srd/trait-library.mjs, which carries the page reference and published cost for each entry.
- sourceSystem is recorded as doa_fixture because that is the package contract's value for project-authored material; the SRD headings this record answers are in provenance.coversSourceIdentities.
- Ratings are recomputed through the consumer CER path on every build, so a mechanics change cannot leave a stale rating behind.
- Typical Stats, damage and ratings are derived from the racial template rather than authored beside it, so the sheet and the stat block cannot disagree.
- GCS ancestry draft: gcs/ogre.gct
- The published Move is the primary medium's cruising Move; sprint figures are stated in the movement note and not folded into it.
- Treasure and grappling are not authored for this record and ship as explicit nulls, which reads as known absent rather than forgotten; `lair` carries a short habitat note instead, because where a creature dens is an encounter fact rather than a loot one.
- Body mass is the figure the build was scaled from and the one fact that makes it checkable; see the gurps-animal-sanity-check skill for the bands.
- About 9 ft 6 in standing, which is the SM +1 row; Strength carries the published -10% size discount.
- ST 20 from Basic Lift: it picks a man up one-handed and throws him, which is the ogre encounter in one sentence.
- DX 9 is deliberate and is half the creature. It hits like a falling wall and it is genuinely easy to not be there, and a party that stands still is choosing to be hit.
