'''Stairface Ogres''' are enormous [[Thwomp]]-like enemy creatures wielding a stamp-like mallet found predominantly in [[Bowser's Kingdom]], as well as the [[Metro Kingdom]] within ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''. They are called the locals of Bowser's Kingdom within the in-game brochure. Their primary means of attack is to smash their staircase-shaped mallet down where [[Mario]] is standing, which allows Mario to climb up their mallets. Before swinging down their mallets, they telegraph where they are about to attack Mario. Stairface Ogres can be defeated by performing a [[Ground Pound]] on top of their head or by poking the yellow gem on their forehead while controlling a [[Pokio]]. Its face bears a striking resemblance to a Thwomp or [[Whomp]], though they seem to be based off of the mythological {{wp|oni}}, which is sometimes seen as a Japanese counterpart to the ogre. | '''Stairface Ogres''' are enormous [[Thwomp]]-like enemy creatures wielding a stamp-like mallet found predominantly in [[Bowser's Kingdom]], as well as the [[Metro Kingdom]] within ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''.

Terrifying Gatekeepers
Don't run afoul of the Stairface Ogres that guard this kingdom. When they spot an intruder, they bring their huge mallets down, no questions asked. On the other hand, you have to admire their tenacity and work ethic. The scars on their faces show that they don't give up easily.
