Orc
Basic Information
Anatomy
Orcs are tall, generally muscular humanoids with gray, green, or brown skin. They have prominent tusks that jut from their lower jaws and slightly pointed ears. Most orcs have hair in dark gray and earth tones, with black hair being the most common.
Most orcs stand over 6 feet tall, and weigh between 230 to 280 pounds.
Growth Rate & Stages
Orcs age somewhat faster than humans, reaching adulthood at around 16 years old, but most do not live longer than 75 years of age.
Orcish families tend to be slightly larger than human ones, and most have two to three children in short succession. Thanks to a somewhat shorter gestation period than humans, siblings are generally close in age. Age differences between siblings rarely exceed two years.
Ecology and Habitats
Orcs are believed to have originated in the savannahs of Holter. Most have strong, enduring physiques accustomed to carrying their belongings across treks that can span half a continent.
