The Orc queen is a recurring monster in the series, introduced in Dragon Quest X as the fairer half of the swine sovereigns, being the distaff counterpart to the Orc king.
Characteristics
Orc queens are boar-women with pink fur, lavender tunics with matching boots, a flaxen coloured belt, and plain spears. They are described as embracing their piggish halves, loving to eat large quantities of food at a time and becoming great gourmands. The extra pounds from this lifestyle are put to use in battle, however, with the queens colliding butt-first against foes with Hip Drop if their spears falter.
