Golem
Golems are depicted as inanimate creatures made of inanimate matter, such as clay or mud, who have been resurrected to perform certain Jewish folklore tasks. A golem is said to be built to protect Jews from antisemitic attacks in some legends. And, according to legend, golems are extremely loyal and will follow instructions to the letter, so their creators had to be very careful what they wanted them to do.

Ogre
While the term “ogre” is derived from the ancient Etruscan god Orcus, the beast is derived from the man-eating god. Many of us have heard of ogres because of Shrek, but Shrek isn’t your typical ogre. Ogres are large, heavy, and hairy creatures with a voracious appetite. They’re portrayed as either dull and dim-witted or brutal, but who knows? Perhaps they’re layered in the manner of an onion.
