Forrest-orcs
Basic Information
Anatomy
Underbites and other genetic mutations linked to inbreeding are common in this folk. Freakish strength comes from using their bodies rather than minds.
Genetics and Reproduction
The species reproduces as humans do gestation takes 7 months for the baby to be born and are born from wombs of their mothers just like a human child would be. They are smaller at birth so it's not so dangerous to the mother.
Growth Rate & Stages
Forrest orcs have two growth-spurts first happens after the first year. Two year-olds can be as high as a human four year-old. And second happens just as the first finnishes. There's a small window called a pup (5-6 years old) where the juvenile is aproximately 1,5 m high and really skinny looking. Then the second growth is more a growth of muscle tissue and about getting big.
Ecology and Habitats
Their caravans are found wandering the old Northern wood. They rarely travel south or outside of the forrest.
Dietary Needs and Habits
Forrest-orcs are almost exclusively carnivorous. This leads in extreme cases to canibalisation of the weak members of the group.

Culture and Cultural Heritage
The orcs believed that afterlife is accessible only if ones ancestors would grant it based on your life experience and since most ancestors fought the War of monsters the need to fight a great battle is sometimes neccecary. This however creates problems for neighbouring setttlements which are often targeted in such brawls.

The old religion is practiced to some extent, but some say perverted to sue the needs of orcish warlords. But some tribes still keep the old traditions, mainly tending and singing to trees.

Shrouded in mistery nobody really knows or cares where they came from. Most say they are descendants of Orcs which roamed the woods hundred years before these husks. If that is true then they have comon history of glorious Kingdoms in the North and Alliance with elves against mankind.
