Tall-men (人間トールマン Tōruman?) are a race in the manga Delicious in Dungeon. The name comes from their height and the length of their limbs, and other races sometimes call them "long-legs".

Tall-men are the most numerous of the races, making up about a third of the world's population.[1] Their population is exploding, and the long lived races view them as a threat. Although tall, they aren't as sturdy as dwarfs or ogres, and they're sometimes given the disparaging label "weak for somebody who's built like that."[1]

Appearance and Biology[]

Physically, they are the second-tallest of the races, after the ogres.

There is a range of skin and hair color across the race as a whole, although they can be fairly similar in certain areas (such as in the Eastern Archipelago). Apparently tall-man ears that face the front are referred to as "devil ears," some tall-men think that large earlobes mean you will become wealthy.[citation needed]

The average lifespan of a tall-men is 60 years.[2]

When tall-men have children with ogres or half-foots, they produce viable offspring. As a result, the tall-men population has greatly expanded over a wide range that includes the Western Continent, the Eastern Archipelago and the Northern Continent.[1]

As adventurers, tall-men are considered fairly unremarkable, with only their height and size seen as a benefit. They use a range of different fighting styles and weapons, with some members of their race having an affinity for magic usage.[citation needed]

Culture[]

Tall-men become adults at age 16.[3]

Laios idolizes trolls, but in the half-foot tongue, "troll" is a word for "tall-man."[4] Back when there wasn't much exchange between the races, these beings were invented to frighten children into behaving―"Be good, or the tall-man will come for you"―so the troll is thought to be fictional.[1]

Trivia[]

  • In the manga, the kanji meaning humans (人間 ningen?) is given the alternate reading "トールマン" (tōruman) to give the race's name in the series.
