The Ogre or Orc

The classic orc of stories told on dark stormy nights...

The Orc

...The orc who eats children....the big (human?) head with wide open eyes in a moment of loud screaming, not of terror but terrorising.

Because the orc has to scare the visitors,especially those who enter his mouth, to sit themselves on the benches and eat of the table within it.



Billy Bond write to us:

Instead of "Orc" for the face with the open mouth it should be "Ogre," since "orcs" were created by J.R.R. Tolkien; the word did not exist before The Lord of the Rings.
