avoid trouble and inspire the rest of the fairytale creatures.
LORD FARQUAAD

so that he can become king. Has an intensely unfair bias against fairytale
creatures that stems from a resentment of his father. Self-absorbed, lonely, and cruel.
PINOCCHIO

Plenty of sass with a penchant for lying.
SHREK
Our story's title character. A big, green, terrifying ogre who lives alone on a
