"You’ve never met an Oni? Ok, first picture an Ogre. Now picture the same Ogre, only orange, temperamental, breathing fire and with a horn sticking out of its head. If you’re not running by now, you’re either brave, stupid, or already dead."

Sometimes called Fire Ogre-Kin, these creatures are relatives of Ogres who are imbued with the power of flame. They tend to emulate their element in temperament and have very strong emotions and quick tempers.

Oni are most common in volcanic areas, but also enjoy living in towns on the borders of the hot deserts and even underground. They avoid coastlines and rainy areas. They occupy a wide range of social levels and occupations but are seldom seen in scholarly pursuits.

Though not at tough as their Ogre relatives, Oni are capable of great feats of strength and additionally have the fearsome ability to breathe fire on their enemies. Oni’s internal heat causes metal armor to gradually heat to painful levels, making it impossible to wear.
