Lorcs

Lorcs are a fictional species featured in various fantasy settings, often depicted as brutish and often antagonistic humanoids. While their exact origins and characteristics can vary greatly between different fictional universes, common traits include immense physical strength, thick hides, and a generally aggressive demeanor. They are frequently portrayed as tribal creatures, living in harsh environments and relying on brute force and intimidation for survival and dominance.

In many narratives, lorcs serve as obstacles for protagonists, forming the bulk of enemy forces in raids and battles. Their societies are typically depicted as hierarchical, with the strongest individuals leading. They are often associated with primitive technology, favoring crude weapons and armor over more sophisticated craftsmanship. While some portrayals paint them as purely savage beings, others introduce elements of complexity, suggesting a capacity for rudimentary culture, shamanistic practices, or even instances of individual lorcs who deviate from the norm. Their intelligence is usually considered limited, but sufficient for basic tactics and communication within their own kind.
