Orcs are a race of warriors. They are bred from infancy to be strong fighters. Their largest stronghold is Ulderek's Rock, where The Orc King has his throne. It is from here that the Orcs send out raids to any nearby human settlements.
Orcs do not have many allies, but they are trusted by the Dragons, and are generally found near murderers and outlaws. They do not need the help of other races for their efforts of conquest, and they have even been known to attack the Amazons without being provoked.
Orcs are generally perceived as being very dumb creatures that rely on their brute strength for their own protection and advancement, but this is not completely true. The orcs are an advanced race in many ways. Their shamans have learned some magical skills, and their warlords are masters of disguise. They also have an organized society, with the Orc King maintaining order and control over the majority of orcs in Tibia. Some people consider the fact that orcs evolved their own language as a great cultural achievement.
<spoiler>Except for the loot listed, all orcs can also drop an Old and Used Backpack. However, this drop is very rare and only if the orc spawned at Orc Fort. This item is used for Sam's Old Backpack Quest.</spoiler>
