An orc is a fictional creature found in many different fantasy universes. Orcs are typically non-magical, and are the same size and strength as men, and tend to be evil. They were popularised in Tolkien's works as "fallen" elves, but are well known from many other works, including Warhammer and Dungeons & Dragons. They are related to goblins, which tend to be smaller and less strong than their orc brethren.
