An OGRE is a mythical creature that is often described as a large, hideous humanoid monster. In folklore, ogres are typically depicted as feeding on human beings, and have been featured in various works of literature, such as the fairy tale 'Jack and the Beanstalk'. The term 'orc' is derived from the same root as 'OGRE', and is used to refer to a race of creatures in fantasy literature, film, and video games. Orcs are usually portrayed as brutish, aggressive, and warlike, and are often associated with evil forces.
