 +[Alt-Text] The ogre walks up a rocky blue hill side covered in green spiky cactus plants. There is a castle behind him in the background and a wooden sign ahead that reads: “For Rent”. The ogre holds a long stick with a green cloth tied at its end over one shoulder and drags a wooden suitcase behind them with broken brown wheels that tumble down the hillside. A large bird sits at the end of the stick with dark feathers and a long curved beak. It smiles and narrows its yellow eyes. The ogre has long spindly legs with sharp knees and long bare feet. It has a large round torso with even larger arms and hands with golden cuffs encased with red gems on each wrist. The buttons of its green top pop open, and it wears matching green shorts with a red fanny pack around its waist. Its small head has small yellow eyes under large thick and fluffy purple eyebrows. It has a big round nose, a large smile with small pointy teeth, and large pointy ears dripping with green goop.
