Ogre
While the term “ogre” is derived from the ancient Etruscan god Orcus, the beast is derived from the man-eating god. Many of us have heard of ogres because of Shrek, but Shrek isn’t your typical ogre. Ogres are large, heavy, and hairy creatures with a voracious appetite. They’re portrayed as either dull and dim-witted or brutal, but who knows? Perhaps they’re layered in the manner of an onion.
