My old RuneQuest books described these brutes as
resembling "Cornish ogres." I always took that
statement at face value, but when I starting looking
for some actual Cornish stories about ogres, I came up
with absolutely . . . nothing.
Does anyone point me toward some sources of ogres in
Cornish folklore or mythology?
I always found this statement in the RQ book very puzzling - all the
ogres in Cornish mythology I know of (and I have family connections
with the county) are flesh-eating giants! See for example the legends
attached to St. Michael's Mount.
