ORC

Humanoid

Forgotten Realms

Orcs were a race of humanoids that had been a threat to the civilized cultures of the world, for as long as any could remember. This changed somewhat in the years preceding and immediately after the SPELLPLAGUE, when a horde of mountain orcs under the command of King Obould Many-Arrows unified into a single kingdom, one that was remarkably civilized.
Orcs varied in appearance, based on region and subrace, but all shared certain physical qualities. Orcs of all kinds usually had grayish skin, coarse hair, stooped postures, low foreheads, large muscular bodies, and porcine faces that featured lower canines that resembled boar tusks. Many also had wolf-like ears that were pointed on the ends, similar to elves. Orcs were roughly the same size as humans and other similar humanoids, though usually robust and muscular.
