What is an "ogre"?
An ogre is a mythical creature commonly found in folklore and fairy tales. It is typically depicted as a large, fearsome being with a grotesque appearance. Ogres are often characterized by their great size, strength, and a tendency toward brutish behavior. They are usually portrayed as antagonists in stories, known for their appetite for human flesh and their role as villains who threaten or terrorize people. Despite their fearsome nature, ogres sometimes have complex personalities and can also be depicted as misunderstood or pitiable figures. The ogre symbolizes the fears of the unknown and the monstrous in human imagination.
