Half-Orcs
Also see the orc creature listing.

orc–human crossbreeds can be found in either orc or human society (where their status varies according to local sentiments), or in communities of their own.]] Half-orcs usually inherit a good blend of the physical characteristics of their parents. They are as tall as humans and a little heavier, thanks to their muscle. They have greenish pigmentation, sloping foreheads, jutting jaws, prominent teeth, and coarse body hair. Half-orcs who have lived among or near orcs have scars, in keeping with orcish tradition.
