Orcs:

Orcs are the most well-known of the so-called "goblinish" races. Others may or may not be more numerous, but the orcs are most familiar to the "civilized" races -- usually to their dismay. Orcs are much like humans in many ways, though yet more aggressive and warlike, with some advantages over a human in size and strength but typically falling short in mental capacity. Individually, they are not overly formidable; their main threat to other races comes from their numbers, the result of their rapid breeding rate. Even if the average orc is no more dangerous than a physically powerful, aggressive human, however, there are highly dangerous orcish sub-races, particularly the dreaded Uruk-Hai, and individual orcs have achieved great heights, just as with any other race.

The average orc stands just under two meters tall and has black eyes and hair, a sloping brow, and greenish skin. Again, there are various sub-races among whom these traits can vary greatly. Orcs do not have great lifespans; in fact, an orc more than forty years old is a significant oddity, and one over fifty is likely to be famed for longevity. Like humans, orcs seem to compensate for their short lifespan by eking as much experience as they can from the time allotted to them.

Orcs usually live in mountain burrows (often taken by force from the dwarves), underground warrens, forest villages, and nomadic tribes. They have reasonably good nightvision. Their language is called Angrak.
