Orcs:

A strong race of humanoids that hail from the badlands, orcs are extremely violent beasts with primitive societies and an innate love for plundering weak villages and towns. They are brutal and merciless, but also quite stupid, which has kept them from annihilating the world.

There are five types of orcs:

Blue-Skins or Runner Orcs - they are the most common type of orcs in Equestria. Medium sized and very speedy, these orcs can cover a lot of ground in one day's march. They prefer to travel light, and rely on speed and surprise to obliterate their foes.

Pale Orcs or Mauler Orcs - the average orc you can encounter in the far north. The pale orc is large sized, with a very muscular build and a lot of grey body hair to help them camouflage. These orcs prefer brute strength over stealth, however, and will rush into battle while screaming madly to intimidate their foes.

Smart Orcs or Dwarf Orcs - the average orc type you can find in the western reaches of Equestria. These orcs are small, bordering in height with goblins, which has sparked much debate over them either being goblin geniuses or smart orcs. To avoid the fright of believing goblins could be intelligent, scientists decided to simply make them smart orcs. They build war machines and elaborate traps to defend their strongholds and raid their enemies. One of the most dangerous types of orc.

Sea Orcs or Coastal Orcs - these are the type of orcs one would find in the eastern coast of Equestria. The sea orc builds his stronghold next to the sea and feeds off the sea life, and while they are still as brutal as any other orc, they tend to keep to themselves. These orcs are the closest you can get to a peaceful or civilized orc, and they'll still eat you alive if you get too close...

Gorge Orcs or Magic Orcs - the type of orc that only resides in the deepest reaches of Ghastly Gorge. These orcs are excellent alchemists and potion mixers, and they have a concoction for almost anything. Even medicine has been known to be researched by them, but never anesthetics, so if you're an orc with an injury that requires surgery, well...
