Ogre

Physical Description


DreamWorks Animation's depiction of ogres

Ogres are very large, tall and fearful humanoid beasts. Ogres have green skin and tube-like ears that they can use as a trumpet by clasping their nose and trying to send air through it. This is seen on all Ogres. Ogres have unusual eating and grooming when compared to humans to the point that most find each others' ways strange at best and repulsive at worst. Ogres (particularly males) care little for how they dress, and will only wear things comfortable to them.

History

Orges are often treated by others in the same way that Orcs are. But the truth is that Ogres are much more civilized and intelligent. Many people fear Ogres as monsters that will grind the bones of others for bread, make soup from freshly peeled skin, shave their liver, and squeeze the jelly from their eyes (actually, it's quite good on toast.) There have been many fairytales made about Ogres, depicting them as beasts that are to be feared. But history has shown differently when an Ogre adventurer had saved a princess from a tower from a dragon.

Society

Ogres are seen as considerably intelligent, compared to their Mythological Counterparts, where they were portrayed as being very dimwitted and unintelligent. Ogres are seen to be moderately tamable and can settle in an area around other more civilized races. Ogres are seen to be witty and tactical. They are seen as very strong and also intelligent. They are even wittier when they band together.

Ogre Names

Ogre names are similar to those of humans but are a bit more abstract. They all sound like names you would hear in a fairytale.

Male: Shrek, Fergus, Farkle

Female: Fiona, Felicia, Gretched
