Half-orcs are a hybrid race in fantasy settings, typically born from the union of a human and an orc. They often inherit physical traits from both parents, such as a robust build and greenish skin, along with prominent tusks. This unique heritage gives them a blend of human adaptability and orcish strength. In many stories, half-orcs face challenges due to their mixed lineage. They may be viewed with suspicion or prejudice by both humans and orcs. Despite this, half-orcs often carve out their own identities, becoming skilled warriors, mercenaries, or adventurers in their quest for acceptance and purpose.
