** The ogres of ''TabletopGame/GURPSBanestorm'' are technically among the Elder Folk of the world of Yrth, but are by far the least advanced race; even the orcs are cultured and intelligent compared to them. Their only saving grace is that they're stronger and tougher than pretty much every other species (except the big, rare races like giants and dragons).

%%* ''Film/{{Ogre}}'' unsurprisingly features one as its villain.

*** Dragon Ogres are Chaos-aligned monsters resembling monstrous centaurs, with the body of a horned Ogre atop that of a wingless dragon-like beast. They are one of the oldest races in the setting, and perhaps the most dangerous Chaos minions. They are apparently incredible long lived, and continue growing for their entire lives. They often spends long periods of their lives slumbering. It's unclear if there is any relation to actual Ogres, as the origins of both races are largely unclear. Regardless the two races have no fondness for one another, and when they first met Ogres they instantly became enemies, and have fought many vicious wars over the ages. Of course that sentence is basically true of any two races in the Warhammer Fantasy setting.

* In Creator/TamoraPierce's ''Literature/TheImmortals'', ogres are a sort of Immortal, a mythical creature that will live forever unless killed by accident or malice. Hundreds of years before the start of the quartet all Immortals were sealed into the Divine Realms - the quartet is named after them because mages have found ways to summon Immortals back into the Mortal Realms. These include ogres, which are extremely tall, ugly to human eyes, and often seem menacing. Offscreen the Tortallans sometimes fight them, but in ''Wolf-Speaker'' Daine says that sometimes they can be talked to and the ogres just don't understand that they can't take things that belong to others, and speculates that they'd be less nasty if not attacked on sight. With that in mind she contacts some ogres which were enslaved and forced to mine opals. The ogres' spokeswoman Iakoju says humans lied to them and said they'd be given farms if they came to the Mortal Realms, and that she's been sent to find their kin-clans to fight the lying humans, but she readily understands that she can ally with some humans to fight against their mutual enemy. Some ogres fight even when they're not forced to; when this is pointed out Iakoju shrugs and says this is true, but not all ogres are the same. Are humans?

* In Creator/TamoraPierce's ''Literature/TheImmortals'', there are two kinds of ogres: peaceful farmers and warlike monsters. Both types are extremely tall and often seem menacing. In her book ''Wolf-Speaker'', the peaceful "breed" are slaves who mine black opals.

** Ogres have simple minds, ugly tempers, and voracious appetites. They are at least 9 feet tall, and depending on the edition, their body parts were a rainbow of disgusting colors (in 3E, they were mostly orange-yellow; in 4E, pink-gray). They wear skins and furs and keep captured prisoners as slaves (and/or snacks). They're not very bright and are often the first [[TheBrute Really Heavy Hitter]] enemy [=PCs=] come across. In terms of inspiration, they were directly inspired by Tolkien's trolls, but under a different name (the proper ''D&D'' troll is more of a lift from ''Literature/ThreeHeartsAndThreeLions''). Ogres (as well as trolls) traditionally worship the evil god Vaprak.

* In ''Manga/DeliciousInDungeon'', only female ogres have been seen so far. They're very tall and muscular {{Horned Humanoid}}s that are based on {{Oni}} rather than Western ogres, and possess SuperToughness and strength.
