This page is about the various orc monsters. For the player species, see hill orc.
Although bloodthirsty and cruel, orcs are by no means dim-witted. These subterranean brutes boast dangerous spell casters, dark priests of Beogh, and skilled warriors among their ranks, even if the vast majority of them are unskilled thugs who rely on sheer numbers to overcome foes. Great hordes of orcs inhabit the Orcish Mines, but they can be found elsewhere as well.
Orc Types
o 
Orc - These untrained brutes are commonplace nuisances. They are lightly armed, lightly armored, and only really dangerous early on. However, they can still damage stronger characters, so don't allow them to swarm you while you take out bigger threats.
o 
Orc wizard - Early casters who come with a versatile array of spells: they can hit you with fire or cold Conjurations, haste or invisible themselves, and will confuse or slow you given the chance. A threat to scrolls and potions.
o 
Orc priest - The most notable feature of the orc priest is its smite attack, which is unavoidable, irresistible, and can target you so long as the priest is in your LOS. Early on, this damage can be deadly. They can also heal themselves and their allies. Definitely make priests a high priority.
o
Orc warrior - Hardier than ogres and able to hit you much more effectively. They are often equipped with strong weapons and armour, but their low EV and magic resistance makes them vulnerable to wands. They are dangerous in melee.
o 
Orc sorcerer - Their capacity for draining your experience, summoning nasty demons, and paralysing you makes them one of the least pleasant orcs to face.
o 
Orc knight - Basically an orc warrior, but stronger. They will sometimes buff other orcs, though this has negligible effect. They may carry crossbows which makes them much more dangerous and is a good reason not to leave yaktaur gear lying around.
o 
Orc high priest - Capable of smiting you like a normal orc priest, but their summoned demons are much, much worse.
o 
Orc warlord - The beefiest orcs, orc warlords are like orc knights, except much, much stronger. With crossbows and other means of ranged attacks they easily do 30-50 damage per shot.
Unique Orcs
o 
Blork the orc - An upgraded orc wizard.
o 
Urug - A nasty orc warrior who generates with a stack of javelins and the skill to use them well.
o 
Nergalle - An orc necromancer who can summon spectral orcs to aid her in combat.
o 
Saint Roka - The strongest orc of all, Saint Roka is an orc warlord with smiting attacks and a large retinue of followers.
