War-like, brutish, brutal: These are the words any peasant would describe an Orc horde attacking their village with. And though there is truth to the statement, Orcs have often also shown a strange sense of comradeship with other mortal races, even those that absolutely loath them. A Orc is very happy to fight alongside Elves and Dwarves, as long as their foe is even worse. And even beyond that, Orcs are capable of forming long-term friendly relations with members of other races. And having a tough Orc on your team certainly helps in any situation, as the average Orc can take injuries that would kill many others.
They also suffer from the worst case of sexual dimorphism known to any living and unliving being, with their women looking way more pleasing to the eye than the men. Shorter tusks, no hunchback and a aesthetically pleasant facial bone structure are the traits that make female Orcs the ideal messengers in peace times, when such a luxury is more favorable for the tribe or nation. Another advantage, in the words of 1st Sergeant Tribellus of the Lorelian Legions: “It makes them more fuckable.”
