"The ___ has fallen in love with the princess!" (line from "Shrek") (4)

I believe the answer is:

ogre

(Other definitions for ogre that I've seen before include "Man-eating monster of fairy tales" , "character in 'Puss in Boots'" , "Monster, troll" , "Terrifying man" , "bad-tempered person" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
