The Orc is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series, 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.

Characteristics

Orcs are anthropomorphic boars that dress in simple green 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. In their original appearances, the orcs actually lacked their signature spears, choosing to fight barehanded, but eventually gained them back in remake versions of II and later games. The beasts even added Multithrust as part of their offense.
