The Stairface Ogre (, lit. Oni Tribe), is a Whomp-like enemy resembling the mythological Oni. They first appear in Super Mario Odyssey. Stairface Ogres are mainly found in Bowser's Kingdom as Mario makes his way upward.
==Profile==
===Physical description===
Stairface Ogres, not too unlike their relatives originating from Super Mario 64, are large, stone enemies that resemble hideous, gigantic ogre-like creatures with sharp claws, wild hair, and two long horns growing from their heads called the Oni. Oni are humanoid for the most part, but occasionally, they are shown with unnatural features such as odd numbers of eyes or extra fingers and toes. Their skin may be any number of colors, but red and blue are particularly common. The Stairface Ogres themselves have a constant angry expression like many members of the Thwomp species, they have a glowing yellow crack in their forehead, four sharp teeth at the edge of their mouth, and they are wearing one-tooth geta.
They are often depicted wearing tiger-skin loincloths and carrying iron clubs called kanabō (金棒).
===Behavior===
Their primary means of attack is to smash their staircase-shaped mallet down in front of them where Mario is standing, which allows Mario to climb up their mallets. 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.
