Gargu-Khanu or Black Orcs

Black orcs average 5' to 6' tall and are the tallest, largest, strongest, and most murderous of all Gargun sub-species. They are covered in black to patchy dark brown fur. They have no discernable skills other than fighting and the will to dominate the weak. Fortunately for the rest of Hârn, they breed far more slowly and kill each other much more readily than any other Gargun species.

Gargu-Khanu are rarely found in nomadic bands, nor are they great builders. Instead, Black Orcs seek to dominate other orcs to do their bidding. If they find themselves without a home they will seek out a tribe of weaker orcs and take over their cave complexes, enslaving and ruling over the smaller Gargu-Araki, Kyani, and Hyeka. Sometimes they will form hybrid societies incorporating Streaked, Brown and White orcs together in the same complex.
