: While it is not unheard of in the animal world to have
: very obvious differences between the sexes, with size
: differences being the (second) most common. However,
: this does not apply to mammals. Mammalian females are
: mostly just a little bit smaller than the males, or
: the same size. Size differences as pronounced as those
: between Myrks and Myrk Giants are only really seen
: anong insects, arachnids, amphibians, fish and
: sometimes birds. I think the Giants aren't anything
: more, or less, spectacular than a big myrkridium(!).
: Perhaps they all grow that big if they survive long
: enough without showing any signs of weakness...

I'm not saying that the giants are definetly female. My idea was that magic use was a recessive genetic trait that may or may not only be found in females. Anyway we have no evidence myrks are mammals at all. We dont know if they give live birth, or nurse their young on milk. They could be something we don't even have a classification for. And I think GURPS disproves the idea that they all eventually grow that big. Could someone who owns it check that?
