Shrek was shown to have no friends or close living family, until he - rather reluctantly at first - befriends Donkey, an excitable, flighty, and hyperactive donkey, who despite Shrek's initial hostility, proves to be a loyal friend. However, during the course of the mission, Shrek falls deeply in love with Fiona. When he finds squatters where he lives, he agrees to the rescue of Princess Fiona to evict all the squatters. The swamp is also a home to different kinds of species including the swamp slug that Shrek uses for his toothpaste. The swamp contains the living quarters of Shrek which consists of an outhouse and Shrek's house. The swamp contains small and big ponds of muddy water and also has geysers that squirt out mud. The swamp, like any other swamp, is green and murky. It is not known exactly at what point he moved to his swamp, but it is shown in Forever After that without his presence, the swamp was just a barren wasteland, indicating he himself must have moved in at one point and kept the swamp running - indicative that he must have been born and grown up elsewhere. Despite this, though, he is something of a runt by ogres standards, even if he can effortlessly fight humans.Īlthough Shrek's background is something of a mystery, it is assumed that despite these traits, Shrek has always been an ogre of the non-hostile kind (and unlike the fairytale ogre, never eats anybody), as he loves peace and quiet and lives in a swamp. His quick wit is matched with his physical and athletic prowess, as he is a great combatant. He knows when he is being screwed over and can formulate sophisticated plans to deal with problems. Despite seeming like an animal, Shrek is actually very intelligent, sophisticated, and harbors a deep insight into other people's mindsets. He also claimed to eat human eyeball juice on toast. He also eats cobwebs and apparently his own snot, although he doesn't know why with the latter. Like humans, he can drink beer and eats eggs. Shrek's diet appears to be largely insectivorous, although he occasionally supplements it with vertebrate animals, such as rats and the aforementioned fish. To prevent sunburn, he coats his skin in mud, similarly to a pig or rhino, uses caterpillar entrails to add a green colour to his teeth(gross by human standards but perhaps attractive among ogre culture), farts in a body of water to catch fish for a meal, and intentionally allows earwax to form so he can create candles to light his home. Given he is a separate species to humans, a lot of his natural and normal ogre behaviors appear disgusting but are actually practical and perfectly normal for an ogre. He is very devoted, caring, and loving towards his wife and is protective of his friends (counting Donkey) and kids. Despite usually being cranky, sardonic, prideful, pompous, mean, and sometimes stubborn, he is a very lovable character. This all has become less so since the end of the first movie. He shuts everyone out and isolates himself as he knows how judgmental the world is towards ogres and how people judge him on his appearance alone. He has been the scorn of multiple prejudices and revulsion because of his ogre background and generally appears thick-skinned to others but behind his terrifying demeanor, he possesses his own insecurities and fears. Towards others, he can be grouchy, arrogant, discourteous and hostile. It has been shown on multiple occasions that he possesses great physical strength, and he has the ability to sound a horn-like noise by blowing air through his ears. He appears as a big, green ogre, with rather cheap and crudely made clothes. As an ogre, Shrek has the typical appearance one would expect from his specie.
