Name: Half-Orc (Humanoid) Stats: No. Appearing : 20-80 Climate/Terrain: Any Frequency : Uncommon Organization : Tribe Activity Cycle : Night Diet : Carnivore Description: Orcs will crossbreed with virtually every humanoid and demi-human spe- cies except elves with whom they cannot. The mongrel offspring of orcs and these other speices are known as half-orcs. Orc-goblins, orc-hob- goblins, and orc-humans are the most common. Half-orcs tend to favour the orcish strain heavily, although 10% of these offspring can pass as ugly humans. Habitat/Society: Half-orcs are distrusted by both human and orc cultures because they remind each of the other's racial stock. Half-orcs advance in orc culture by flaunting their superior ability and in human culture by associating with people who don't care about appearance. Most tend toward neutrality with slight lawful and evil tendencies, but lawful good good half-orcs are not unknown. Some half-orcs have split from both cultures to form their own societies in remote areas. These half- orcs worship their own gods and (like most hermits) are extremely sus- picous of strangers.
