What is an orc, anyway?
Orcs are humanoids, known for their oafish, brutish looks and behaviors. Oftentimes, you'll see them depicted with green skin and tall, muscular, lumbering bodies. They might have monster-like features, like tusks or horns. Normally, they're thought to align on the evil side of the spectrum, possibly serving as foot soldiers for dark leaders. As for their names, orcs tend to have cacophonous, harsh-sounding names. Their purpose is to sound powerful in order to intimidate others, which reflects their combative nature.
