Butcher (Beasts) is an 
Ogre Kingdoms Hero unit introduced in Total War: Warhammer III with Ogre Kingdoms (DLC).
Recruitment[]
Unlocked with: Larder, Feast Yurt or Livestock Pens
Description[]
Butchers are typically more rotund than an average Ogre and have even worse personal hygiene. They often resemble walking larders, for in addition to being caked in dried blood and offal, they adorn themselves in chunks of meat, along with an array of meat hooks, cleavers, filleting knives and even special tenderisers tucked into a leather apron or even pierced through their flabby skin. A Butcher must be prepared to use these items in their gore-soaked rituals at a moment's notice. Of all true Ogres, only the Butchers do not wear a gut-plate – they trust their guts to the protection of the Great Maw.
Attributes[]
- Wizard
- ▲ Spellcaster: This unit can cast spells.
- ▲ Armour-Piercing: The damage of armour-piercing weapons mostly ignores the armour of the target, making them the ideal choice against heavily-armoured enemies. They are often heavier and attack at a slower rate though, making them less efficient against poorly-armoured targets.
- ▲ Ogre Charge: When attacking braced charge defenders, this unit only loses half of its charge bonus.
- ▲ Decent Melee Combatant: Despite being primarily a missile unit or spellcaster, this unit can also hold its own ground when fighting in melee.
Spells[]
- Wyssan's Wildform
- Flock of Doom
- The Amber Spear
- Pann's Impenetrable Pelt
- The Curse of Anraheir

Strategy[]
Ogres get access to three lores of magic overall. Of them, Beast is the least useful, offering neither the regen of Maw nor the raw power of Fire. The Beast Butcher is perfectly fine in battle, and does give regen through the Replenish Troops passive, while helping out a Slaughtermaster with his power recharge passive. However the Ogres have such good options for heroes that this one should be near the bottom of your priorities.
