Orc
Orcs have stooped builds, grayish-green skin, and coarse black hair, with low foreheads, reddish eyes, and faces of porcine appearance that feature large lower canines similar to a boar's tusks. They also have wolf-like ears that are pointed on the ends. Orcs are roughly the same size as humans and similar humanoids, though typically a little larger.
Orcs have poor temperaments and are given to anger more easily than some races. Easily offended and impatient, orcs generally prefer violent solutions and rarely considered multiple ways of approaching a problem.

Basic Information
Genetics and Reproduction
The gargun have a reproductive system resembling that of some
insects. In each tribe there will be, at most, one fertile female (the queen)
and generally only one fertile male (the king). Gargun hatch from gelatinous
eggs laid by the queen and kept in dark, humid chambers. Newborn gargun
have an extensive racial memory that preserves the customs of the gargun
from one generation to the next. A crucial element of their racial memory
is an instinct to submit to a clearly superior authority. They will accept the
authority of a king, provided he shows an ability to eliminate rivals; any sign
of weakness brings immediate revolt, which is inevitably fatal to the tyrant.
Behaviour
Overcrowding in a gargun colony will lead to a bloody civil war or a
swarm. Civil wars can kill up to 80% of the population in an uncontrollable
orgy of bloodletting, perhaps lasting a mere hour. A swarm occurs
when a significant number of males, perhaps 40%, seizes the queen or a
princess and escapes to establish a new colony. A swarm can be extremely
unpleasant for any settlements or wandering parties in its path.
