Shrek

Shrek, also known as The Ogre and Sir Shrek, is the titular main protagonist from the Shrek series.
== Charactah Account ==
A grumpy and gross but lovable ogre who lives alone in a swamp, at least, initially, as he finds to his utter displeasure Fairytale creatures are dumped into his land by Lord Farquaad to keep them away. He initially starts off with resentment towards everyone, but as he journeys on, he becomes way more sociable and open.
Before meeting Donkey and Fiona, Shrek lived a solitary life, preferring not to associate himself with others due to people's fear of him, while occasionally playing on their fear to frighten away intruders. During his quest to save Fiona and his swamp, however, Shrek slowly begins to open up to his companions, revealing his insecurities about how others perceive him. With help from Donkey, Shrek finally realizes his feelings for Fiona and confesses his love for her. He is fiercely protective of Fiona and his allies and will go to great lengths to help them in any way.
Since marrying Fiona, Shrek had been deathly afraid of the prospect of having children, possibly due to his own upbringing as an ogre. By the end of Shrek the Third, however, Shrek overcomes this fear and proves to be a loving father.

== Trivia ==
* The name "Shrek" is derived from the German word Schreck, meaning "fright" or " terror".
* Originally, Shrek was supposed to be voiced by Chris Farley, but he died in December 1997. He had done 80% 90% progress (95% according to his brother Tom) of finishing the project. Prior to that in 1991, Steven Spielberg bought the rights for Bill Murray to voice him, but it was scrapped for an unknown reason. In addition to Farley and Murray, Nicolas Cage, Johnny Depp and Robin Williams were also considered until the role went to Mike Myers.
* Of all the characters, Shrek has been injured in the groin more than any other character, with four onscreen, and is also one of the only two that have been kicked there (the second one is Thelonious, but he had been kicked just once).
* Shrek makes a brief appearance in a Kung Fu Panda 3 commercial that spoofs the Snickers advertisements. In it, Monkey, a member of the Furious Five, and Po, the Dragon Warrior, aren't just themselves when they are hungry, with Monkey becoming Shrek while Po became Donkey respectively.
* Shrek can be spotted as General Monger's medal of order on his right chest in every scene in Monsters vs. Aliens.
* Shrek makes a cameo as a...
** Plush in the 2014 direct-to-video CGI animated short Rocky and Bullwinkle.
** A Guy in a Shrek costume in the movie The Pentaverate, which Myers starred in (and once again voiced Shrek).
* In the Brazilian Portuguese version of two first movies, Shrek was voiced by the famous actor and comedian Bussunda.
* Shrek was meant to have a cameo in Guardians of the Galaxy as one The Collector’s displays. However, scheduling prevented the team from getting Mike Myers to voice so the scene was scrapped.
* Shrek was added along with Fiona and Donkey in DreamWorks' new theatrical opening, which also features several other characters from other DreamWorks films.
