Common Characteristics
Orcs are a race of large, aggressive humanoids that are generally viewed as barbaric, hostile and dangerous. Rumours persist however of a nation of more 'civilised' orcs to the south west.
Though they can vary quite considerably in appearance there are some common qualities. Orcs typically have a greyish-greenish skin tone, coarse hair and a large muscular build; most orcs stand at least six feet tall (though many have a hunch posture). Orcs have pointed almost wolf-like ears and oversized lower canines resembling large fangs or small tusks.
