Norker

Norker

Norkers are a degenerative subspecies of orc. They are fierce and cruel, but not as organized. They generally travel in packs, dominated by a single strong leader. The packs are rife with internal power struggles and petty bickering, but when confronted with a common foe, they all fall into enough order to make a reasonable nuisance of themselves.

They frequently travel with any orcs willing to take them in, and will eagerly follow orcs around like mean, feral puppies. Orcs tolerate norkers because they're so easily dominated, useful in a fight, and are easily overruled when it comes time to divvy up loot.

Combat Tactics

Norkers are feral and heedless of danger. They will charge into fights and aggressively provoke attacks of opportunity, making use of their mobility. They will use their snapping riposte as often as possible. Other than that, they just want to club stuff until it's dead.

Out of Combat

Norkers are miserable, low, and vile creatures, even for monsters. They have degenerated in intelligence, but far more critically, they have degenerated in their moral and societal character, to the point that they are in danger of slipping into the satus of mindless beasts, or even vermin. Some sages are studying this decline with keen interest, as a means of determining how this process proceeds, or perhaps, how it could be induced, or reversed, or even, inculcated in reverse among the beasts to raise them up. This study is of no matter to the norkers, who cannot even begin to understand what it means, but this area of study is viewed with suspicion among most 'reputable' sages, mages, and cyphers, as meddling in this process seems uncomfortably hubristic...which often leads to deific interference.

Nobody wants deific interference.
