This is a exerpt from Piers Anthony's Visual Guide to Xanth, its a book about the different cratures from his Xanth series, namely the part about Ogres...I just liked it:
Ogres talk in simple rhyme, though unrhymed speech would save them time. When ogres are hungry for some meat, and flesh is thought good to eat. Normal-sized ogres stand twice man-height tall,, wear their own shaggy skin and nothing else at all. An ogre's strength is legendary; no limit to what he can carry. Ogre's arms are like tough gnarled wood, and their faces do not look even that good. Hairy muscles knot like the boles of old trees, and they can wrestle a full-sized dragon to its knees. Even the handsome ones are grotesque; the ugly ones are a horrible mess. Bad storms and spoiled food are ogres' delight, they also like to shout and fight. Their hands and feet are huge, their voices a roar, their manners are awful, and all of them snore. They're so dirty bugs live in their pelt, but skin is so tough raises never a welt. They like jokes that are easy to tell, as ogres don't think very well.
