Version 0.11: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.


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.
