Ogres

"The ogres, or "tallfolk" are a particularly daunting topic to broach, considering how cruel the society I was raised in, in particular, has been to them. It is truly tragic how far to the corners of society they have been driven. A human may prefer the tribal life, but they will at least be welcomed into a city's walls with little trouble. An ogre though? No such luck. And the theory that they're essentially magically-tainted humans does them no favours, either. Reducing an entire race to some sort of... mutant monster is not something I abide at all, and I have tried to do everything in my power to help those ogres I've encountered in my troubles. Some were not so willing to accept my help, but I empathize with how that sort of life must hurt their willingness to trust others- especially halflings like myself."

Physical Traits
Ogres are known for their massive height. They tend to be around 8'5 at their smallest, and around 12' at their tallest. Ogres are bipedal, and tend to have a frame nearly as wide and muscular as they are tall. Ogre teeth are typically razor-sharp, and some have been known to have upper canines so large and sharp they were mistaken for vampires (if they weren't vampires, anyway). Most ogres have been known to grow horns from their forehead and top of their skull, the length of which varies from small, rounded nubs to massive, curled rams' horns.Their ears are small, pointed, and set into the side of their head. They tend to have either orange or crimson-red skin. Though, those with a strong magical affinity will notice their skin beginning to turn a deep shade of blue or purple.

Ogres have hair over their entire body, and are, generally, hairy. Though they don't develop coats of fur, the hair on their head, face, back, inner-arm, and chest grows very quickly.

Diet
Ogres are typically carnivorous.

Lifespan
Ogres typically live around 65 years.

Reproduction
Ogres give live birth, after a period of pregnancy that typically lasts 7 months. Ogres generally only have one child per pregnancy, but they have been known to very rarely produce twins.

Population
Prejudice against ogres, and a general lack of desire to accomodate their height, makes them uncommon in areas densely populated by non-ogres. They are, thus, usually forced to live in rural areas, and are usually hired by farmers to assist with manual labour. They are most common in the desert, mountains and coastal areas, but there are even tales of ogres living among human tribes- perhaps due to a shared bond over being ostracized by "society."
