Common, prairie, or Ni'khari ogres are by a substantial margin the most successful kind of giant in Kaimere bar none, in no small part due to their massive populations, proportionate to their relatives and size. Common ogres are descended almost entirely from stock that expressed exclusively titanosaur-mimicking morphology, although minute traces of boar and palaeoloxodon are found. This titanosaur base has such extreme pneumasticity that they can actually, despite their size, have quite human proportions, all be it with both longer legs and more squat, stout feet. Few prairie ogres retain derived external characteristics, other than the pneumatic torso and skeleton and derived air sacs as these traits allow them to reach their massive sizes, even among their kin. While they do have osteoderms, they are beneath the skin, much like a sloth, and only a few, particularly older men, have external osteoderms and these mostly act as mineral reserves over defense. Having said that, there is an element of sextual selection with regards to external armor, as ogre women prefer these armored men when choosing a lover. The reason that prairie ogres don't resemble their ancestors is due to their strong and healthy populations, whereas hill and forest ogres look much more derived because of their smaller populations. Prairie giants are much more social than the Shu and other peoples who encounter them in the wild may first believe: While they seem stoic, much like elephants their language is primarily infrasonic, meaning it is too low frequency for human ears to hear, and thus we only hear a fraction of what is actually being said. They may only travel in small family groups, but they infrasonically keep in touch with other bands within a few miles and congrigate every few days to trade. This has led to the Shu believe that they instinctively or even magically can find each other, when often in reality the ogres had been planning a meeting for several days. Despite the designation, they are not restricted to the Houze Prairie, being found in Ni'khari prairies, forests and deserts along with those of northern Arvel and northern Kairul: they simply have their highest populations on the Prairie. Much like the titanosaurs they are so derived from, the very traits that allow them to attain their massive sizes come at a severe cost of their cold tolerance and any climate colder than subtropical can lead to congestion and respiratory infection. As it stands, they are fantastic at shedding heat, but even tropical mountains they cannot stay in long for fear of sickness.
