Orcs are a sturdy, typically nomadic race, and are generally regarded to be the heaviest and physically strongest, but supposedly least mentally adept race. In truth, their intelligence lies in instinct and lived experience. They’re a typically nomadic race, preferring to live their lives migrating with the seasons. In recent years, more and more orcs have taken on sedentary lifestyles.
Orcs are highly intelligent beings, but lack the same innate understanding of abstract concepts (ie. currency, philosophy, chivalry) like other races, leading to them being seen as less intelligent overall. Due to this, it’s rare to see orcs in positions of power outside of their own societies, being most commonly found in non-orc societies as foot soldiers and manual labourers.
Orcs are typically born with light stripes on the back of their bodies, akin to wild boar, stretching from the back of their heads to their lower backs, but lose these stripes upon maturity.
