Shrek

Shrek is a fictional character created by American author William Steig and is the protagonist of the book of the same name, a series of films by DreamWorks Animation, as well as a musical. The name "Shrek" is derived from the German word Schreck, meaning "fright" or " terror". In the films, Shrek was originally voiced by Chris Farley, but due to the latter's death in 1997, the role was switched to Mike Myers, after several actors had turned it down. In the musical, Shrek was played principally by Brian D'Arcy James.
He’s an Ogre, who used to live alone and in solitude, however, his life and himself changed after he met his friend Donkey as well as other people along the way. He was wed to Princess Fiona, the daughter and only child of Queen Lillian and the late King Harold, the rulers of the kingdom of Far, Far Away, before rule of the kingdom was passed down to Arthur Pendragon (or Artie for short.), King Harold's nephew.
He's also one of the minor characters in SuperMario231's Super Mario 64 Bloopers videos.
