>>104121920>Never understood how Orcs (especially female orcs) became a thing.What part are you confused about?
Orcs/orks are a name that has been around for thousands of years applied to various types of monsters, there have also been stories in many different cultures regarding savage wild men and human shaped monsters, giants,trolls,goblins etc.
Tolkein took the concepts of trolls, and goblins and combined them using the word orc for them, after that other people built on (ripped off) his work and expanded on the idea of orcs as humanoid monster people, and since humans have two sexes it stands to reason so would they, hence orc women.
