Not keen on keening.

I recall that some Shadowrun material, 1st/2nd edition came out and stated that natural-born orks and trolls (as opposed to ones who were Goblinized humans) developed and dropped off at a markedly accelerated rate. One character's daughter was forty and in the most wretched state of dementia, and another splat pointed out that this can lead to twelve year olds who are indistinguishable from toughs six or seven years older, save for the tusks and even worse impulse control.

Not sure if they elided it from later editions, but they were originally characterized as being congenitally stupider than the pretty races, with a lot of people who experienced Goblinization suffering irreversible brain damage in the process.

And then they greenlit a novel about a med student who went all Flowers for Algernon after turning into a troll.
