Games Workshop's Warhammer universe features cunning and brutal Orks in a fantasy setting, who are driven not so much by a need to do evil as to obtain fulfilment through the act of war. [53] In the Warhammer 40,000 series of science-fiction games, they are a green-skinned alien species, called Orks. [54] Warcraft [ edit ] J.R.R. Tolkien, Carl F. Hostetter (ed.), The Nature of Middle-earth, "Part Three. The World, its Lands, and its Inhabitants: XVIII. Note on the Delay of Gil-galad and the Númenóreans", p. 370 Orc' (from Orcus) is another term for an ogre or ogre-like creature. Being useful fodder for the ranks of bad guys, monsters similar to Tolkien's orcs are also in both games." Gygax, Gary (March 1985). "On the influence of J.R.R. Tolkien on the D&D and AD&D games". The Dragon. No.95. pp.12–13. Tolkien derived the word orc from Old English believing it refers to a kind of evil spirits, [26] which in turn is thought to derive from Latin Orcus "Hades", although Tolkien doubted this etymology. [27] He also thought it survives in the modern language for sea-beasts, [28] such as the Orca Whale. Note that I'm reviewing the now-published version of this story, which has been professionally edited.

Lord of Goblins

The book is on the shorter side, serving to introduce us to the cast of characters, Lev's situation, and his plight. He begins sewing the seeds of something that could turn out to be great, but we're not quite there yet. I expect we'll get our much-desired payoff soon enough in the second installment though! J.R.R. Tolkien, Christopher Tolkien (ed.), The Monsters and the Critics and Other Essays, " A Secret Vice", p. 217

The first documented appearance of Orcs was in Y.T. 1330, when the Sindar observed a variety of "evil creatures" roaming Beleriand that included Orcs, Wolves, and "other fell beings of shadow." Small numbers of these evil creatures, thought to be scouting parties, had entered Beleriand over passes in the mountains as well as through the southern forests. In light of this new threat, Thingol commissioned the Dwarves of Nogrod and Belegost to craft arms for the Sindar, which they used to drive away the evil creatures and restore the peace. [6] Around this time the Dwarves told the Sindar that these "fell beasts" came from the ruins of Angband, and that they could also be found east of the Blue Mountains, where they troubled the Elves who dwelt there. [7] The orc features in numerous Magic: The Gathering collectible cards, in the 1993 game series published by Wizards of the Coast. [i] [57] He also provided them with aid and mounts to ride so that they can reach Mirkwood safely. The death of the Great Goblin also rekindled the goblins' war with the dwarves. It was at this point that they started to prepare for a battle to avenge their leader and secure the North from the dwarves. However, the death of Smaug altered their plans, which led them to participate in the Battle of the Five Armies.This article or section needs more/new/more-detailed sources to conform to a higher standard and to provide proof for claims made.

They are far bulkier than what one normally expects for a Goblin, being either hugely muscular or fat. They also had bulbous toad-like heads featuring tusks, lupine ears, canine-like noses, and even horns. J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings, The Fellowship of the Ring, " The Bridge of Khazad-dûm" The "huge" orc-chieftain is described as "almost man high" Orcs of the mountains would often not venture very far from their homes unless they had to look for new homes, went to war or went on raids to get food or slaves. In such raids they would often obtain the help of Wargs with whom they then shared the plunder. [18]
