Also not Keenan, but I have seen him say that Spinosaurs are extinct on Kaimere. Dieing out during an arid period before the tyrant dynasty.

Nice video on giants. Some questions: 1. Any giants composed of ghlanos? 2. Did other giants (such as hill ogres, forest ogres, trolls, and wealcantrows) made it to Kairul? 3. Considering dragons have air sacs and photosynthetic cells, technically would they be considered homunculi (even though breeding with natural wild dragons)? 4. What pressured the hinterland giants to evolve into being large?

[@TalesofKaimere]

1. If there were, that strain has either gone extinct or been absorbed into other giants. While the leading theory is boar and a proboscidean are responsible for the non-titan expressions of common ogres, it's possible that ghlanos is responsible for it. Their feet have an elephantine quality to them, but some scholars argue they're also pretty close to ghlanos feet. 2. There are reports of Kairulan wealcantrow, but at least one examined was a tree with human influence, not a human with tree influence, so likely not the same thing. When the Maku traveled from Qajar to Kairul, they were accompanied by many homunculi, so there may be giants not yet discovered by the Assembly. Dead Tree Grandmother from a story in Songs of the Inland Sea was a strain of magic which bound a woman to a tree, but that was thought to be wild magic (which may have been the template used by the First Children to create wealcantrow). 3. Some would argue yes. They don't appear to have been made by the First Children, but there is a striking similarity in the domestication process. 4. During their time on the prairies before the arrival of houze grass, being long-legged was extremely good adaptation for efficient travel. It was not selected against once they got to other regions. They grow faster than humans, reaching maturity a bit earlier as an adaptation to such a high-stress ecosystem.

I actually have such an encounter briefly shown in one of my stories! In that particular case they were fighting over a corpse. Three ogres harassed the uktan for a while, but eventually it lunged at one. He fell, a dangerous situation for one so tall, and the ogres backed down. Important to remember that while ogres are taller, uktan are around 6 times heavier. Spears and sling stones are potent weapons that can make up the difference, especially in a group, but in that particular case they lost the engagement. I could certainly see a situation in which the ogres not only chased off an uktan but even kill one, though their numbers would likely take a hit as well.

Omg were those growls backmasked

[@TalesofKaimere]

Yes. I haven’t yet made the ogre language beyond a couple words but wanted to convey the general vibe

[@Lurtz848]

ogre have never attempted to domesticate Drenduga for use as possible mounts?

[@TalesofKaimere]

If it has been attempted, it was lost to time. Elephants can support a person on their back, but their backs aren't built to support an extra 2-3 tons in a concentrated area. Horses are an exception for back strength, not the rule.

Doubt the first children knew about dragons

[@angelsworld6682]

There has to be another humanoid races or non-human races. Plz make these - Conspiracy theories - monsters - Pseudomammals, reptomammals aviamammals or more - plethora of things

Thank you!

Imagine a prairie giant boxing a uktan lol

[@TalesofKaimere]

Would be quite a vicious matchup

[@lorcanmcloughlin3686]

@TalesofKaimere giants probably doomed then again can they throw good? Feel like if it turns a log or small tree into a spear and throws it like a javelin might kill the uktan
