They are semi-aquatic, but are comfortable spending their entire lives in the water should they find swamps or marshes of their preferred depth. They will lie in wait for days at a time on a single breath, waiting for small and medium-sized crocodiles, unassuming boaters, or anything else convincingly large and animate to pass above them.

Anything trapped in its mouth must save vs. Paralysis (one attempt per round) to escape. Those trapped in the ogre's mouth will risk drowning once the ogre slips back beneath the water.
If the bite is ineffective, or it decides what it has bitten will not satisfy, the swamp ogre will use its hands to grasp the largest 1d2 creatures within reach, and hold them underwater until
