Once a gangly and bedraggled vampire with a strange obsession with colour, Blorkula was offered succour by a missionary of Beogh and became a portly and vigorous orc with a strange obsession with colour instead.
He wields magic tinged with every hue of the rainbow, and has mastered the art of dividing his form among its many colours to avoid killing blows - though even he must rest a while before doing so a second time. |
Useful Info
Blork the orc is a unique orcish spellcaster who can cast a few low-level Conjurations and buff himself significantly. He occasionally spawns with a strong weapon, like a battleaxe or glaive.

Tips & Tricks
- Blork is basically a beefier orc wizard. He has more attack spells and Haste, but lacks Confuse. Because he can haste himself, it's more difficult to run away. Otherwise, unless he spawns with a big weapon, you can treat him like a strong orc wizard.
- If you worship Beogh, he may join you as a follower.
Trivia
- Blork the orc is a reference to Mork from Ork, a rainbow-suspenders-wearing alien from the 70's television show "Mork & Mindy".
- If you polymorph him, his name will change accordingly (e.g. he might become Blork the centaur).
History
- In 0.32, Blork the orc will become Blorkula the orcula, a vampire that splits into multiple randomly-colored vampire bats when he dies. Additionally:
- He will gain the Sting, Sandblast, and Shock spells. Cantrip and Magic Dart will be removed from his spell list.
- He will gain a second attack with the vampiric attack flavour.
- He will spawn in D:5-8 instead of D:4-6.
- Prior to 0.27, he could cast Invisibility when low on health.
