Introducing...... Shrek

Shrek is a fictional character from the children's book Shrek! and the Shrek films. He is the main protagonist of the book and the films. The name "Shrek" is derived from the German and Yiddish word "Schreck"/"Shreck", literally meaning "fear, terror."

Shrek is a large, green, physically intimidating ogre. Although his background is something of a mystery, it is assumed that despite these traits, Shrek has always been an ogre of the non-hostile kind as he loves peace and solitude and lives in a swamp (with a "Beware the Ogre!" sign near his home to discourage attacking villagers) and is befriended by Donkey, an excitable, hyperactive donkey. All that changed when he met Princess Fiona.

Shrek lives in an Ogre Swamp. The swamp, like any other swamp, is green and murky. The swamp contains small and big ponds of muddy water and also has geysers that squirt out mud. The swamp contains the living quarters of Shrek which consists of an outhouse and Shrek's house. The swamp is also a home to different kinds of species including the swamp slug that Shrek uses for his toothpaste. He moved to Far Far Away when he got married to Princess Fiona. When royal duties bogged him down, he dreams of the days when all he had to think about was whether to have a slug or bug for dinner.
