An orc is a fictional humanoid creature that is part of a fantasy race akin to goblins. While the overall concept of orcs draws on a variety of pre-existing mythology, the main conception of the creatures stems from the fantasy writings of J. R. R. Tolkien, in particular, The Lord of the Rings. In Tolkien’s works, orcs are a brutish, aggressive, repulsive and generally malevolent species, existing in stark contrast with the benevolent Elvish race and generally serving an evil power.
Tolkien’s concept of orcs has subsequently been adapted and imported into other works of fantasy fiction as well as role-playing and strategy games (such as Dungeons & Dragons, Warhammer, and Warcraft), broadening the recognition of the creatures in popular culture.

Orcs are brutish, usually ferocious humanoids. They usually have green skin, muscular bodies, tusks, a hatred for nature, and a lack of hygiene. J.R.R. Tolkien first created the orcs, but they have since been adapted over and over in all sorts of works of fiction. Despite these adaptations they haven’t changed all that much.

Half-Orc Names
Half-orcs are usually the offsprings of humans and orcs, but they could just as well be the offspring of orcs and other beings. They’re also usually beings shunned from the societies of their parents as a result of being neither fully one or the other, and thus inferior in the eyes of both.
What they do share are usually some of the better traits, which, in the case of human and orc offspring, is usually increased strength compared to humans and increased intelligence compared to orcs.

Orc names in Dungeons & Dragons
Orcs are huge, muscular humanoids capable of destroying almost any foe in their relentless onslaught. They desire the destruction of all the civilized races of all the worlds, especially those of elves, dwarves, and humans.
Few races do not fear the orcs, but the orcs themselves know fear as well. They fear their gods and their judgments, which they desperately seek to please through combat and offerings. Their entire life is dedicated to pleasing the gods in the hopes that they will be chosen to fight in an eternal battle once they die.
Orc names are strong and guttural sounding, with female names being slightly more melodic. They don’t have surnames, but do use epithets like “Knee Smasher” and “The Behemoth”.
