Oroks (3.5e Race)

Oroks

Oroks are bigger, stronger, and faster versions of orcs. They typically live in small settlements in just about any climate and on virtually any kind of terrain. They don't need to eat, drink, or sleep as much as orcs and are known for being more cunning than regular orcs. What's more is that they tend to craft finer weapons and armor compared to normal orcs and as such are usually better equipped. Most times oroks are hostile to other races, but not always. Their main weakness is that while they are good at conquering, they are deficient in occupation as the concept of peace and civil cooperation tends to vex them. This has led to them living in crudely governed settlements and exhibiting a distinct indifference if not animosity towards society. Instead they tend to conquer bands of orcs, gnolls, goblins, or any other weaker races that they can force to do their bidding.
