Encyclopedia entry

Anyone who has met a gluttonous, nude, angry ogre, will not
easily forget this encounter -- if he survives it at all.
Both male and female ogres can easily grow as tall as three
metres.  Build and facial expressions would remind one of a
Neanderthal.  Its small, pointy, keen teeth are striking.
Since ogres avoid direct sunlight, their ragged, unfurry
skin is as white as a sheet.  They enjoy coating their body
with lard and usually wear nothing but a loin-cloth.  An elf
would smell its rancid stench at ten metres distance.
Ogres are solitary creatures:  very rarely one may encounter
a female with two or three young.  They are the only real
carnivores among the humanoids, and its favourite meal is --
not surprisingly -- human flesh.  They sometimes ally with
orcs or goblins, but only when they anticipate a good meaty
meal.
