Editing Ogremoch (section)

==5th Edition==
[[File:Ogremoch 5e.jpg|150px|thumb|right|5e's art actually used 4e's as a base.]]
Ogremoch's first appearance in this edition was as a mention in the Monster Manual, where it's stated that [[gargoyle]]s were created by him to mock and destroy the air creatures he so hates.

Like his hated siblings [[Imix]], [[Olhydra]] and [[Yan-C-Bin]], Ogremoch returns as one of the bigger bads of the adventure "Princes of Elemental Evil", which is all about the party getting involved in the four warring cults of elemental evil dedicated to the four malevolent [[archomental]]s. In this edition, Ogremoch is described as a 50ft tall shambling colossus of animate rock shot through with crystalline growths. His character is slightly tweaked; whilst still an overbearing tyrant who wishes to crush and subjugate all others, and to outlast those he cannot defeat, he also gained a new characteristic of being a miserly bastard who regards all of the treasures of the earth as his own sovereign property. 

Because of this, not only can Ogremoch sense whenever anyone removes nuggets of precious metal or raw gemstones from territory under his influence, but he also despises anyone who dares to shape or build things from stone. Extracting treasure from the earth is anathema to this malevolent archomental, and as such, whenever he gains access to the [[Prime Material]], Ogremoch's presence is signaled easily by his habit of methodically locating and destroying every mine, quarry, town and fortification in his reach.

In a neat little reference to the Monster Manual, one of Ogremoch's Legendary Actions in this edition is to sacrifice 50 hit points to create a gargoyle.
