On his normal day, he finds his peace interrupted by fairytale creatures, who claim they were banished from their home of Duloc by order of Lord Farquad. Only so that the squatters can leave, the reclusive ogre decides to give Farquad a peace of his mind. He reluctantly lets an annoying talking donkey to be his guide to Duloc.
