True Ogre is a character in the Tekken fighting game series. He is the main antagonist and final boss along with Ogre in Tekken 3.

History

Tekken 3

After Ogre was defeated by Paul Phoenix in the King of Iron Fist Tournament 3, he morphed into True Ogre, a large dragon-like monster with a snake in place for an arm. Ogre now had the ability to fly, teleport, and spit fire along with all of his other powers. It is possible that he absorbed the Devil Gene, because he absorbs power from either Jin or Heihachi. Heihachi, however, can't use the Devil Gene, but maybe he posesses it.

It was the final battle: Ogre versus Jin Kazama (or Heihachi Mishima versus Ogre when Heihachi was selected). Jin, seeking revenge against the monster that killed his mother, vanquished True Ogre, and his body dissolved into nothing.

Two years later, Heihachi attempted to use Ogre's genes to make himself the ultimate warrior, but his plan was unsuccessful and he learned that he needed the Devil gene to integrate Ogre's genome with his own. Heihachi announced the King of Iron Fist Tournament 4 to lure Kazuya and Jin so that he could obtain the Devil gene.

Devil Within (Tekken 5)

After Jin left the Hon-Maru after the final battle in the King of Iron Fist Tournament 4, he heard that his mother was still alive at G Corporation. When Jin traveled to their labs, he discovered what G Corporation was truly after: Ogre. Beneath the labs were the remains of another ancient temple, where Jin battled his nemesis once more. True Ogre fled to a deeper part of the ruins, and Jin followed after him.

The enemies Jin fought were inhuman aliens, and the surroundings resembled a crystal-like palace. Jin accidentally destroyed the seal containing Ogre and then battle him one last time. Ogre revealed yet another transformation, and his third form towered over Jin. Ogre's body became a green and golden color and his body had more horns and even more dragon-shaped. He has a new ability to create giant whirlwinds, along with all of his other attacks, making him extremely difficult to defeat.

Although it is implied that G Corporation revived Ogre, it is not known if the Devil Within side story is canon. It's also unknown if the Ogre here is the same Ogre as in Tekken 3, or if it is a different one altogther (Seeing as how there was another temple and the fact that this Ogre did not have a snake arm like the one in Tekken 3). Also, Devil Within implies that Ogre has a much more deep relationship with the Devil Gene than previously known, and given that Ogre plays no role in Tekken 5 itself, it's unlikely that Devil Within is canon.
