Shrek! is a 1990 fantasy children's book by William Steig about the titular repugnant green monster, who leaves home to see the world and winds up marrying an equally ugly princess. It was the inspiration for the 2001 animated film of the same name, but very loosely.

Card-Carrying Villain: Shrek is so repulsive that plants wilt in his presence and animals flee from him. He's very proud of this.

comment
Hold Your Hippogriffs: The narrative does this a lot. Shrek's parents "hissed" things over and "kicked" him goodbye, and Shrek left the black hole in which he'd been "hatched".

Unholy Matrimony: The plot kicks off when Shrek is told that he's destined to marry a princess even uglier than him. When he finally finds her, they fall in Love at First Sight and are delighted by the other's repulsiveness.

Villain Protagonist: Shrek takes delight in causing misery wherever he goes with his powers and sheer ugliness, a notable example being stealing a pheasant from a peasant so he could eat it.

Witch Classic: Soon after leaving home Shrek comes across one in the woods, an old woman with a long nose who is boiling bats in her giant black cauldron. He trades her some of his "rare lice" to her in exchange for getting his fortune told.
