Brainstorm: Appearance

---

The Oruqi, better known as "Orcs" in Low Malcoran, are a Humanoid troll-like species, distantly related to Trollocks and Goblyns.

• They appear almost like Human in general appearance; though, they are descended from an extremely ancient line of trolls.
• Adults often stand between 10-195 centimeters in height.
  
• Adults often weigh approximately of 150 kilograms. 
• They are very robust species, with naturally well-defined muscles; though, they are more slender than they are broad, belying an incredible physical strength.
• There is no sexual dimorphism between males and females. The only difference between the sexes is that sexually mature Oruqi females develop breasts, which are never large, and are often mistaken by other species to be highly-developed pectoral muscles, and that female Oruqi tend to have deeper, and lower pitched voices than their male counterparts.
• Oruqi face are not flat, but are rather sharp, with high foreheads, and noticeably pointed ears similar to those of the Alvari.
• Oruqi eyes are feline in appearance, and tend to be gold, ruby, or emerald in colour. Their eyes always glow in dim lighting, similar to that of many Asharans'.
• The lower canine teeth, known as tusks, of the Oruqi tend to grow rather large, and often protrude up and outwards from their mouths. They continue to grow at a steady rate throughout an Oruq's lifetime. As an Oruq's tusks have no nerves in them, and therefore no feeling , they are often filed down for cultural reasons.
• An Oruq's skin is tough and leathery, and often has tones that generally fall into the range of dark to light greys. Scars and heavily calloused regions tend to take on a slight greenish tint.
• Similar to Humans, Oruqi grow hair on both their heads, and on their bodies. This hair is generally either curly, or kinky in nature, and tends to be either a deep copper red, a coal black, or chestnut brown.
• An Oruq's is extremely good, being just below the abilities of the Auroran eyesight. Oruqi have excellent night perception.
• An Oruq's sense of smell is very good, being better than an Amani's.
