There's no such thing as a high ogre. It's a translation error.

So the way the first three evolutions that Rou follows can be read as: Goblin, Hobgoblin and Ogre. But they can also be read as Little Oni, Middle Oni and Great/Large/High Oni. Oni can be translated as both ogre and demon. So sometimes when someone uses an auto-translate service, it will read the text and produce just "ogre." But sometimes it will translate oni as ogre, and then stick the high/great/large in front of it, instead of reading the phrase/word holistically.

The subspecies thing is annoying too. In short, it only refers to when someone has a blessing and is colored differently as a result. The first rank of... recolored monster, is subspecies, then rare species, extinct/new species and I think there's a few beyond that, (superior species?). The way subspecies is written means it can also be read as variant. An ogre mage, cleric, shaman or whatever, is not a subspecies. Technically it is its own "type" of monster. Just like how a Spell Lord is not the same type of monster as an Earth Lord or Blood Lord.
