The '''Orc''' is a monster in the series.


==Characteristics==
==Characteristics==
Orcs are anthropomorphic boars that dress in simple clothing and carry spears as weapons. Contrary to common depictions in fantasy literature, movies, and video games that originated from J.R.R. Tolkien's ''The Lord of the Rings'' series of books, the orcs of ''Dragon Quest'' are boar beastmen rather than green-skinned humanoids.
Orcs are [[Beast family|boarish beastmen]], rather than green-skinned humanoids commonly seen in fantasy literature, movies, and video games that originated from J.R.R. Tolkien's ''[[Wikipedia:The Lord of the Rings|The Lord of the Rings]]'' series of books. The common folk of the orcish tribe, they have pelts of thick brown fur, dress in simple green clothing, and carry crude spears as weapons; in their original appearances the orcs actually lacked their signature spears, choosing to fight barehanded, but eventually gained them in remake versions of ''II''.

In this game, orcs are members of the [[Devil family]] rather than the Beast family. Orcs can be encountered as enemies in the Medal Man and Extinction Traveler's Gates. They can also be bred with a pedigree of any member of the Devil family and a [[BeanMan]]. Orcs learn [[Sap]], [[Wing-Clipper|BirdBlow]], and [[Vivify]] naturally. An orc is also necessary to breed a [[Yeti]], by breeding it with any member of the Beast family as a pedigree.
Orc appeared from the beginning of the game, maintaining their ability to perform a [[Multithrust]] with their spears from ''VIII''. Starting with Version 5.0, Vicious orcs can be encountered in the [[Netherworld]], as well.

Latest revision as of 23:47, 24 September 2026

For the Dragon Quest IV enemy formerly known as "Orc", see Pickayune.

The Orc is a monster in the series.

Characteristics[edit | edit source]

Orcs are boarish beastmen, rather than green-skinned humanoids commonly seen in fantasy literature, movies, and video games that originated from J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings series of books. The common folk of the orcish tribe, they have pelts of thick brown fur, dress in simple green clothing, and carry crude spears as weapons; in their original appearances the orcs actually lacked their signature spears, choosing to fight barehanded, but eventually gained them in remake versions of II.
