Orcs are an aggressive carniverous breed of mammalian creatures.
They will cross breed with just about any other species except for the Elves because they cannot.
They band together in tribes or bands and survive by hunting or raiding.
Orcs have a theroy that they must expand their territories, so they are constantly waging war against the other races such as Dwarves, Elves, Goblins, and Humans.
Because orcs are always cross breeding with other species, their appearance can vary, but the gist is still the same.
They have a slightly stooped posture about them, a low jutting forehead, and have a slimy grey green skin.
Orcs like to wear colors that offend humans, colors like blood red, rust red, mustard yellow or even olive green.
They have well developed canine teeth and often grow in fangs for eating meat, and they have pointed ears, almost like those of a wolf.
The language of the Orcs is called Orcish a language which was derived from an older form of human and elvish dialect.
Orcs have learned to speak other languages, however they rarely ever speak them.
Other forms of their language can include goblin, ogre and hobgoblin.
Though Orcs hate direct sunlight and will normally run only at night, there have been different crossbreeds who have adapted to the sunlight and can run all day long, hunting their prey.

Though some orcs have been "created" by evil wizards or mages, some of them are simply born from the constant cross breeding that they have commited, resulting in fierce and disgusting predators.

Orcs do not a high class intelligence and will always fight visciously rather than seek out victory.

They are bloodthirsty and inhumane creatures who fight to the death and show little to no mercy upon any race they are in battle against
