Orcs

Orcs
Orcs are a curious breed, humanoid in appearance, yet so much different than human beings. Orcs are about the same height as humans, yet built for surviving harsh desert climates and tolerating pain. Because of this, a human and an orc can be the same height, yet an orc may weigh twice as much as their human counterpart.

Another huge difference between orcs and humans is their teeth- orcs have tusks. They are large, protruding mandibles, sprouting from their lower jaw. Some orcs’ tusks stick straight up, like spears, while others curl this way and that. Unfortunately, the presence of tusks in an orc’s mouth causes saliva and spittle to fly from their mouth frequently while speaking, much to the humans’ disgust.Their skin is another major difference from humans as well. Their skin is very tough, almost like leather, and is green. This green can vary from aquamarine to nearly black, and every shade in-between. Their tough skin allows them near immunity from the frequent sandstorms that plague their homelands, and the abundant cactus that grows among the rolling desert dunes barely bothers them at all.

As for eye color, and orcs’ irises can be almost any color. Common eye colors are black, brown, red, blue, and yellow.

Orcs have thick hair, usually black, and either keep their heads shaved or keep the hair in a ponytail. Orc women are usually voluptuous in figure, and their tusks are significantly smaller. Their hair also varies in color more frequently than orcish males.
