Half-Orc

Half-orcs are a cross breed race of humans and orcs, or sometimes elves and orcs. They are less brutish than their full orc relatives but usually lack the grace of their human or elven relations. Half-orcs quite often have troubled lives, facing prejudice from the world due to their orc lineage. Half-orcs usually have green or grey skin, and tusks, though smaller than full orcs. They are usually heavily built and usually stand over 6 feet tall.
