Identification

Ogres measure 2.6 meters tall and weigh 230 kilograms. Skin color varies
between pinkish-white to ebony, and usually darkens slightly after
expression. Ogre's body proportions differ from Sapiens in both arm- to-leg
ratios and girth-to-height ratios, both are generally 30% more 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
areas they prefer large, above ground, but enclosed spaces.

Habits

Ogres are diurnal. Their diet is omnivorous, although a strong tendency
toward carnivorous behavior 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.
