Oni Ogre Mage

I've already written tons of stuff about Oni. But in DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS...

 

...Oni were originally just called Oni, but then de-asianized into "ogre Mages" for most of D&D's history, even though they are not really ogres. Then 4th Edition brought them back to their roots by calling them Oni... and making more types based on different kinds of Oni and yokai. The vanilla type is now an Oni Mage or an Oni Ogre Mage, to try to stem confusion a little bit.

 

Also, this guy is a better-looking Blue Oni than the pic I labelled as such. Crazy world, isn't it?
