Here is a question I literally just thought of. Are there different types of Orcs in D&D? For example, in the create a character in DnD Beyond some races have subraces. And in the Lord of the Rings movies (which I know is a bit different then the game), the Uruk Hai are different then the ones in the third movie that attacked Minas Tirith.
I would treat orcs as a civilization averse culture of many tribes in the manner of how we view Native American cultures; nomadic, regional and culturally varied.

I was going to state, just use some of the other goblinoid races but I see that Orcs are not part of that family in D&D. Seems a bit weird to me, I always thought they were just another type of goblinoid.

Nope. Though goblins may end up working for/with them.
I would also like to mention for straight up different types of orcs in this edition eberron has a different type of orc to reflect how there orcs are different from traditional ones
Because in eberron all the races are a lot different (flavor and story wise)

There are a few different orcs in Faerun. The orog or tanarukk might be similar to an Uruk Hai.
