Ogre

Homo Sapiens Humongous

Identification: Ogres measure 3.2 meters tall and weigh 275 kilograms. Skin
color varies between pinkish-white to ebony, and usually darkens slightly
after ogrization. Ogre's body proportions differ from Sapiens in both arm-to-
leg ratios and girth-to-hieght ratios, both are generally 30% than in Sapiens.
Ogres are very heavily built and generally have both denser skin and bony
deposits on or under skin. Body hair is more developed than in Sapiens, but
less than Ingentis. Ears are normally rounded, and do not come to points as in
other metatypes. The sloped skull has 34 teeth, prominent lower canines.
Females have two mammae.
Habitat: Ogres prefer caves or large above ground dwellings in the wild. In
urban ares they prefer large, above ground, but enclosed spaces.
Habits: Ogres are diurnal. Their diet is omnivorous, although a strong tendency
toward carnivorous behaviour has been observed. Usually ogres are found in
single or pairs, not in communal groups. Life expectancy is 70 years. Breeding
season is unrestricted. Gestation is 300 days.
Young: Only one. Birth weight is 3.0% of mother's weight. Sucking time is 11
months.
Commentary: Ogre's eyes are heavily endowed with rod structures, this allows
them to see in dim light far better than Sapiens.
