Homebrew HALF-ORC GOBLIN (AKA GORK) Species Details
"Orcs breed prodigiously. Goblins have little say."
A GORK is a Half Orc Goblin. What they might lack in height, they make up for in raw strength. Typically low in stature and even lower in Intelligence, GORK'S Orc blood gives them the benefit of a powerful frame and lower center of gravity. This race takes the cunning of a Goblin and the strength of a Half Orc and creates a more agile, cruel being. The Goblin blood drives a GORK to lash out and punish all that it can with it's Orcish brawn. They enjoy the act of misery wherever they have the power to inflict it.
If a GORK makes their way back to a Goblin Tribe, or is born into one, they swiftly become Tribe Boss with their size and strength.
Conversely, in an Orc Clan, their small stature and extra appendages are seen as a punishment from the Gods. Most GORK'S in a Orc Clan are forced to serve within the Temple of Luthic; if they live long enough. As the clan moves, newborn GORK'S are often left behind to live in exile. However, most are not so lucky and meet a crueler fate of sacrifice.
