Contrary to common depictions 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 [[Wikipedia:Orc|orcs]] of ''Dragon Quest'' are [[Beast family|boarish beastmen]] rather than green-skinned humanoids. The common folk of the orcish tribe, they 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''.
