Info: Half orcs are half human but most often resemble their orc parent. Sometimes, beautiful half orcs can pass for human but if they are ugly they will be treated terribly in a human society. If this happens at a young age, a half orc may run off and become the cheif of an orc tribe because he would be the most cunning orc of the group. They bear many orc features like an upturned nose, serated teeth, more body hair, thick, sharp fingernails and, fortunately, they are not born with a deformed spine.
