Orcs are bi-pedal humanoids. Their size is average by most racial standards. A mature Orc generally stands between 5 and a half to 6 and a half feet tall.
They normally have a muscular build. The average male Orc weighs between 225 to 250 pounds. Females average between 140 to 155 pounds.
Their eye coloring varies but dark colors are most common. Their vision is very poor and does not reach into the IR spectrum.
Orc skin typically comes in deep green or a shade of brown. They usually have coarse black hair. Baldness is not uncommon.
An Orcs life span generally ranges from 50 to 70 years.
Orcs generally prefer to live in low altitudes. They are not very adaptable to cold enviroments. They are carniverous surviving off animal life, sometimes other sentient races.
Key Features: Orcs are distinguished by their "pig-like" features, especially their noses. This animalistic feature has earned them a reputation of being somewhat stupid. Normally this is a fair label.
Note: All races will vary from world to world. Almost everything listed above is stereo typical information. Only information listed as "Key Features" will be a constant as these things are what universally cause a creature to be labelled a certian race. An Elf may not have ever heard the term "Elf". His people may have another name which they call themselves. But if he looks like what other worlds consider an "Elf" that is what he will be considered by the city of Nessus and the game. Some races may share "Key Features" in those cases the stereo-typical information will be used to give a creature a label. Creatures which dont seem to fit into any catagory will be considered Mystical Creatures.
