Reog used as a means to collect mass and an effective communication channel for the rulers at that time. Ki Ageng Mirah and then make a legendary story about the Kingdom Bantaranangin which by most people Ponorogo trusted as history. Duke Muslim Batorokatong Barongan also utilize it to spread Islam.

Furthermore reog art continues to grow in line with the times. The story continues to retell the story of creation reog Ki Ageng Mirah who passed mouth to mouth, from generation to generation.

According to legend Reog or Barongan originated from the story of Ki Ageng Demat Flea Suryonggalan who want to satirize the King of Majapahit, Brawijaya V. King The King at that time often did not meet its obligations because it is too influenced and controlled by the empress. Therefore made of leather Barongan kingpin tiger (Java Tiger) who rides the peacock. The King is represented as a peacock while riding the tiger symbolizes the empress. In addition, for insinuation is safe, Ki Ageng protect it with trained troops, reinforced by the powerful ranks of the warok mandraguna. In the reign of the Duke of Roxburgh Batorokatong who ruled about 500 years ago, reog began to develop into folk art. Duke companion named Ki Ageng Mirah use reog to expand his power.

Reog refers to several Chronicle, One of them is a chronicle Kelana Sewandana. Babad Klana Sewandana said to be the original standard of performance art reog.

Reog illustrated with dance performances soldiers who not only dominated the men but also women, motion bringasan the warok, and dashing and high-profile Sewandana costume, the king of love seekers.

Another version in Reog Ponorogo take Panji stories. The story revolves around King Kelana Sewandana journey to find her hero, accompanied by his patih hussar and a loyal, Pujangganong. When the choice fell on the daughter of the King of Kediri, Dewi Sanggalangit, the goddess gives the condition that he would accept his love when the King was willing to create a new art. From there it created Reog Ponorogo. Reyog letters represent a future letter words in the song macapat Pocung which reads: Taste ballad / soul Ingwang adiluhung / Yang Widhi / Sports kridaning Gustavo / degree roll kersaning Kang Almighty. Mystical element is a spiritual force that gives breath to the art Reog Ponorogo.

Until now, Warok perceived as a figure who cast must have certain supernatural powers. Even some bad stories about life warok.
