The '''Orc''' is a recurring monster in the {{DQSeries}}, first introduced in ''[[Dragon Quest II]]''. It is pig-headed monster wearing a green tunic and wield a spear. Their fur and clothing are dyed new colors as they advance upwards in their species' society, creating some putridly porcine pigment permutations.
The '''Orc''' is a monster in the series.


==Characteristics==
==Characteristics==
Orcs are anthropomorphic [[Beast family|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''.

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.
