Orcs are a species of aggressive mammalian carnivores that band together in
tribes and survive by hunting and raiding. They generally live underground,
in very dark conditions. Orcs believe that in order to survive they must
expand their territory, and so they are constantly involved in war against
many enemies. Orcs vary widely in appearance, they frequently crossbreed
with other species. In general, they resemble primitive humans with
grey-green skin covered with coarse hair. Orcs have a slightly stooped
posture, a low jutting forehead, and a snout instead of a nose, though
comparisons between this facial feature and those of pigs are exaggerated
and perhaps unfair. Orcs have well-developed canine teeth for eating meat
and short pointed ears that resemble those of a wolf. Orcish snouts and
ears have a slightly pink tinge. Their eyes are human, with a reddish tint
that sometimes makes them appear to glow red when they reflect dim light
sources.
