Orc
The most common form of Orcneas is the basic 'Orc' ('Vulgaris'). These warlike brutes follow a loose code of 'the strong lead', are capable of combat tactics, create their own weapons and armor and can be trained into a formidable fighting force, given enough force of will and numbers. These orcs far outnumber the other subtypes, and are most likely to be encountered by adventurers, frontier villages, and wandering merchants... often to their detriment.
Only slightly less intelligent than Humans, Orcs tend toward chaos and evil, but many scholars point to neutral or even good-aligned orcs as evidence it may be less 'nature' and more 'nurture' that explains the standard orcish disposition. Pure-blooded Orcs are easily distinguished from half-orcs and other orc subtypes, as they have clearly non-human faces, larger builds, and some shade of green skin. A few orcs even integrate into more civilized societies, acting as laborers, bouncers, soldiers, or guards for less reputable organizations.
Left on their own, tribal communities of common orcs are usually content to keep to their own, unless united by a warlord and whipped into a bloodlust of raiding, pillaging and conquest, with only occasional raids into civilized lands for resources they cannot make or gather on their own.
Most of the standard 'Half-Orcs' in the world are sired/birthed from these types of Orcs, regardless of the circumstances of their conception.
Their fecundity, susceptibility for mutation, and indiscriminate cross-breeding can be explained by their 'Mother Deity', Luthic:
Luthic, the orc goddess of fertility and wife of Gruumsh, demands that orcs procreate often and indiscriminately so that orc hordes swell generation after generation. The orcs’ drive to reproduce runs stronger than any other humanoid race, and they readily crossbreed with other races. When an orc procreates with a non-orc humanoid of similar size and stature (such as a human or a dwarf), the resulting child is either an orc or a half-orc. When an orc produces young with an ogre, the child is a half-ogre of intimidating strength and brutish features called an ogrillon.
