General Description and Biology
Half-Orc tend to take predominantly after their orcish parent with their
huge frame and tenancy to increased musculature. They may have features of
their non-orcish parent as well, tending to be slightly smaller in frame
with increased variability in their coloring. Like their orcish parent, they
have increased fibers in their muscles, making it easier for them to become
large and bulky, however, not to the same extent as a full orc would. This
also puts less strain on their internal organs, leading to longer lifespans.
Most tend to have tusks like their orcish parent, but it is no unheard of to
see a half-or without them and with additional features like horn or
vestigial (non-functioning) wings from a demonic parent.

their other parentage.

Origin and Lore
It is said that half-orc first started appearing after wars where orcs
would raid villages and other settlements. Now it seems that Orcs look for
those who can add strength or different features to their ranks.
