Orcs are aggressive humanoids that raid, pillage, and battle other creatures. They have a hatred of elves and dwarves that began generations ago, and often kill them on sight. Orcs vary in appearance but in general look like primitive humans with gray skin, coarse hair, stooped postures, low foreheads, and porcine faces with prominent lower canines that resemble a boar's tusks. They have lupine ears, their eyes are reddish, and they wear vivid colors that most humans would consider unpleasant, such as blood red, mustard yellow, yellow-green, and deep purple. Their equipment is dirty and unkempt. When not actually fighting other creatures, orcs are usually planning raids or practicing their fighting skills. Their language varies slightly from tribe to tribe but is understandable by anyone who speaks Orc. Some orcs know Goblin or Giant as well. Most orcs encountered away from their homes are warriors; the information in the statistics block is for one of 1st level.

Many orcs who take up the warrior or fighter class also gain proficiency with the falchion or the greataxe as a martial weapon. They enjoy attacking from concealment and setting ambushes, and they obey the rules of war (such as honoring a truce) only as long as it is convenient for them. Light Sensitivity (Ex): Orcs are dazzled in bright sunlight or within the radius of a daylight spell.
