[QUOTE="Pbartender, post: 5580074, member: 7533"] Yep... "malnourished" was probably a bit of hyperbole, but that's exactly the point I was aiming for. The difference can be seen between my parents (who grew up in large families on poor, rural farms during the Great Depression) and my kids (who are growing up in a small family in modestly affluent modern-day suburbia)... At 13 and 11, both my kids are taller than their grandmother, and my son wears the same size shoe I do. There are such wonderful oddities in nature, aren't there? So, I'm not saying it couldn't happen with orcs (Maybe that's why orcs all live underground... If they move out of the confines of a cave system, they eventually grow into ogres.) but I hate it when people perpetuate that particular myth about goldfish. It's seems like a recipe for unintentional animal cruelty, that's all. I had a similar thought last night... What if orcs were like tadpoles? [/QUOTE]
