Like I remember this one series I was skimming where a slime can copy the forms from what it eats and when presented with some shitbag rapists she opts to just murder them instead while commenting that she doesn't want to share a body with them.

>Is there a difference between mind control and hypnosis?
Let's expand the topic more generally. When Character A seeks to control Character B's thoughts or actions there are various methods that can broadly be broken down into 4 categories.
>Possession
Character A inserts a mind/soul/corruptive force into Character B to either act for them or influence their actions. Character B's thoughts and actions are not their own. Effect can be reversed by ending the possession or severing its control structure if that is possible.
>Brainwashing
Character A puts Character B through some process which alters their personality. This could be done through memory manipulation or conditioning or breaking their spirit or literally directly altering their brain. Character B's thoughts and actions are their own, but they were unnaturally developed. Could either be irreversible or only reversibly by therapy or by breaking the conditioning.
>Hypnosis
Character A puts Character B through some *hypnotic process* which alters their mental state to be more compliant. Can be broadly broken down into 2 kinds, unrealistic hypnosis which is basically just generic mind control, and hypnosis based in reality where Character B is manipulated through reduced inhibitions and altered perceptions. Character B's thoughts and actions are their own in the latter case, albeit they are acting in an altered mental state. Most effects can be reversed by breaking trance. Extreme forms of hypnosis can involve the creation of false memories or alternate personalities which bleeds into brainwashing and something functionally akin to possession.
>Mind Control
Can be used as a catch all to describe all of the above and any other unnatural influence over thoughts and actions, but is generally used to describe anything that doesn't fit the other categories, for instance control via pheromones. Also occasionally used to describe control of a person's body, but not their mind, such as with puppeteering.

>Ogres were originally a type of fairy
Actually they weren't. Ogre in a classical sense just meant "giant, man-eating humanoid". It wasn't a specific thing or even category of things. It was a description of a collection of traits. Literally applied to anything larger than a full grown adult human that ate people and was vaguely human in their body plan.

Not sure where you got that idea. Neither ogres nor giants or trolls with which they are sometimes conflated were considered a type of fairy.

Trows (troll inspired fairies of the northern parts of Scotland) were fairies and are where we get the word drow which was later used for dark elves, another kind of fairy. There's also see-trow, another kind of fairy, but that's an unrelated mythological kettle of worms that's 2-3 steps removed from trolls.

There's also orcs which at conception were another word for goblin which are a kind of fairy derived from kobolds, but they're an entirely modern creation stemming from Tolkien.

None of this is to say no fairies are ogres. There are ogrish fairies, but that's neither here nor there.
