Ogres are mythical creatures often depicted as large, brutish beings with a fearsome appearance. They are commonly found in folklore and fairy tales, where they are portrayed as living in remote areas, such as forests or mountains. Ogres are typically characterized by their strength and size, and they are often associated with a lack of intelligence. In many stories, ogres are known for their appetite for human flesh, which adds to their menacing reputation. They are frequently featured in tales alongside other mythical beings, such as trolls and giants, and have become popular figures in modern media, including movies and video games.
