Gorgo the Ogre (in original "Gorgo l'Orco") is an italian modern Fairy Tale, found in a series of issues about fairy tales of all sorts called "I Raccontastorie" (The Storytellers), which ran in the eighties and included audio tapes along with the stories. A rather short and simple fairy tale which, however, has many unusual elements, making it similar to a fantasy novel for children compared to other fairy tales.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The story opens by introducing the little Ogre Gorgo, who lives with his parents in the village of the Red Ogres. In order to fully reach adulthood, a Red Ogre must show his worth by killing a monster, but Gorgo is too kind and merciful to do so, and instead make friends with an old, wise dragon named Zago. When his father finds out, he chases him from his house. Gorgo is sheltered by Zago, who tells him that he could become a Golden Ogre, a type of wise, just and peaceful ogres who only kill when they have no other choice, but in order to do so he has to perform an act of incredible bravery: slay the fearsome Slobbering Monster who lives in a mountain far away and that has killed countless ogres and dragons alike. Armed with his father's stolen sword, Gorgo reaches the monster's lair with Zago's help and faces the creature in its nest. Thanks to his quick thinking he's able to stab the monster's heart and kill it, and after he's flushed outside the lair he's greeted by Zago, who reveals to him that now he has become a Golden Ogre for his brave and selfless act.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })A sequel, "Gorgo the Golden Ogre", picks up the story from where it was left: Zago and Gorgo return home, only to find it besieged by the vile Black Ogres. The old dragon manages to defeat the invaders but nearly dies for the effort. The village wizard, Borgo, reveals that only the legendary Sun Stones may heal Zago, but they have all been seized by the Black Ogres long ago. With the help of his father, Borgo and a little creature called Slurm, Gorgo must venture forth to reach the citadel of the Black Ogres in order to recover the Sun Stones from the despicable King of the Black Ogres in order to save his friend.In the Christmas issue of 1984, another short story dedicated to Gorgo has been published: because of a terrible illness, the Red Ogres risk to miss the special Christmas Feast, and so it's up to Gorgo, Zago and the little Slurm to recover the ingredients to cure the ogres... even if they have to confront the voracious Giant to get them!Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); }) | |

Violation of Common Sense | |
| Gorgo the Ogre / int_1b2b1d2c | comment |
Violation of Common Sense: Gorgo decides to trust the little baby Slurm and, in order to reach the city of the Black Ogres, jump from a cliff in the mouth of a colossal toad-like monster. Turns out it's the correct thing to do, as the monster envelops whoever it eats in floating bubbles which he then blows toward the citadel, hence granting access. | |

The Hero's Journey: In the first story, Gorgo starts as a child, ventures forth in a far and distant land helped by his mentor and has to take on and kill a dangerous monster who no one has ever defeated before. Thanks to the cleverness and courage showed in this trial, he's rewarded and becomes a Golden Ogre, just like he wanted, learning the importance of bravery and selflessness. | |

Vile Villain, Saccharine Show: The story is rather light, but the King of the Black Ogres is truly a creepy, disturbing villain in both terms of physical appearence (think of a shapeless, boil-covered blob with a moving red eye, a size-shifting mouth and tentacles resembling spider limbs bursting from his own boils) and behaviour, as described above. | |

Disintegrator Ray: This is how the Sun Stones are used as a weapon: if all nine of them are placed on a special metal triangle said device can shoot a beam of light that leaves nothing of the victim, save for a golden gleam. | |

Rule of Three: Borgo's Cowardly Lion monologue is repeated three times over the course of the story, with the last one lampshaded by Gorgo himself. | |

Our Ogres Are Hungrier | |
| Gorgo the Ogre / int_b749f89d | comment |
Our Ogres Are Hungrier: Red Ogres resembles the traditional Ogre, though they have green horns, nails and teeth, and Red Ogresses have three eyes, and tend to be likeable if boisterous. Golden Ogres are a noble and brave kind who only kill if there's no other choice, and tend to be smarter. Black Ogres are evil, twisted beings which comes in all shapes and sizes, with their King being a demonic, blob-like cyclops covered in boils. | |

Blood Knight: Red Ogres become adult by killing monsters, and Gorgo's father enjoys slaying dragons whenever he can. He eventually drop this habit in the second story. | |

| Gorgo the Ogre / int_d42fb539 | comment |
Our Monsters Are Weird: Slurms are creatures allied with the Black Ogres, though a whelp ends up helping the heroes. They have green, oval bodies with six legs and two tentacles and a round head on the top with a single eye and a single sting. | |

| Gorgo the Ogre / int_d88e125e | comment |
Our Dragons Are Different: Zago is a yellow bespectacled dragon who's akin to the traditional fairy tale wizard, collecting books and exotic items and serving as a mentor for the hero. Red Dragons are mentioned, and Gorgo's father really likes to kill them. | |

Our Giants Are Bigger: The Giant resembles a grotesque humanoid hippo with an enormous mouth. Giants live in the purple mountains, where the dig lairs by eating through the stone. They also eat everything, but the poisonous sting of a Slurm can put them to sleep. | |

Big Damn Heroes | |
| Gorgo the Ogre / int_eb81c601 | comment |
Big Damn Heroes: Twice in the second story. The first is when Gorgo and Zago arrives just in time to stop the marauding Black Ogres from destroying their village, and the second is when Borgo shows up in time to save Gorgo's father, bringing bat-frogs with him so that everyone can escape, and even tells Gorgo how to use the Sun Stones. | |

Blob Monster | |
| Gorgo the Ogre / int_ee19d278 | comment |
Blob Monster: The Slobbering Monster is a colossal behemoth made of slime and covered in red eyes and tentacles, with his heart as its only weak spot. Not only it feeds on Ogres and Dragons with ease, but its lair is nearly impossible to reach, as the entrance is too small for an adult ogre and too high to be reached without the help of a dragon. The King of the Black Ogres is one too, though smaller and much nastier. | |
