Orcs
Orcs are Morgoth's creation and the backbone of his armies. They are
accustomed to caves and tunnels, and resist darkness but tend to be
vulnerable to light. Orcs are ugly, brutish pillagers by reputation and
should not expect much love from shopkeepers. Morgoth's spirit lives in
orcs and drives them forward, making them hard to frighten. What orcs
lack in stealth and subtlety they make up for with their sheer brute
strength, and generally have little trouble brushing aside weak enemies
like kobolds; yet in the deep dungeons, where the strongest fighters
and most powerful magicians reside, orcs are rarely seen.
Orc fighter
The most common and familiar type of orc, fighter orcs are feared
around the world for their strength, endurance, brutality and low
cunning. They start their careers as a lowly Snaga, but will eventually
develop into Uruk-hai or even mighty warlords, capable of summoning and
controlling armies of lesser orcs.

Orc shaman
Orc shamans and warlocks are more cunning than the average orc and have
learned rudimentary magic from their black masters. They can detect
threats, blink out of dangerous situations and easily dispatch weak
enemies with their offensive spells, and are not quite as hopeless with
magic devices as their fighter kin, but like all orcs they tend to have
trouble when the going really gets tough.
