Ogres


 * "[...] sat in the dark thinking of all the horrible names of all the giants and ogres he had ever heard told of in tales [...]"
 * ― Riddles in the Dark, The Hobbit

Ogres were an old úvanimo race originating from Utumna. Stemming from the stains of evil, they were renowned as a destructive and monstrous people in many tales and folklore.

History
Ogres were monsters bred from the slimes of the earth by Morgoth that infested the lands of Beleriand. The Hongwir lived in the northern lands, while the cannibalistic Sarqindi were said to be found in the south. They were considerered fell beasts in various stories of woe and horror throughout Middle-earth.

Trivia

 * Ogres were counted among the úvanimor in the early writings of J.R.R. Tolkien. A single mention of them survived in The Hobbit, which resulted in a common theory that ogres are mythical beings in Hobbit folkore in the established canon.
 * The name Ettenmoors contains the word eten, which means 'troll, ogre'. This might imply that either Trolls and Ogres are the same manner of creature or that they both roam that region of Middle-earth.
