"Ogres are large giant-like beast-like creatures that dwelled in the wilderness of fairy tales and legends. Almost every culture has their own version of this creature. They would kidnap princesses and attack travelers because they enjoyed the taste of man flesh.

They tended to be spoken of as not being very smart but they always seemed to be in a bad humor....hence the expression "Your an ogre today...". They were very nasty, when heros killed them they were concidered...well...heros.

There is not much to tell about ogres. It just seems they were just another beast that a brave warrior could rescue people from." 1

Side note, they are supposed to have really bad breath...
