Orcs

Orcs were a race of warlike humanoid creatures who were presumed extinct during the cataclysmic event which destroyed Earth. During the Grand Migration, a decision made collectively by overseeing governments of the other races and nations who would participate in the Migration stated that the Orcs would not be allowed to participate, ensuring their extinction as it was deemed they would be an ongoing threat to sentient life.

Physiology
It was believed by human anthropologists that the evolution of orcs was influenced chiefly from a lack of exposure to pre-Bronze Age magic, as practiced by most other sentient races at the time. Without the conveniences of intonements and rituals, they would have been forced to evolve for sheer physical durability and cultural ferocity that would allow them to withstand the harshness of living outside of the more civilized societies being formed at this time.

Appearance
On average, an adult orc can range from 6'0 to 7'0 tall, with few reaching taller statues via their genetics. Their pigmentation is as varied as humans, based on the climate in which their particular branch of ancestry hailed from - With lineage from colder climates being varying shades of pale blue or gray, while temperate or extremely hot and dry climates were home to deeper and darker shades of green extending into olive and even shades of brown. As their eyes have evolved to see better in the dark and be resistant to bright light sources, their irises are generally any variation of yellow to red in hue, and their ears were evolved for sharpened hearing resulting in canine-like points and overall larger size.

Given their stature, their race is largely carnivorous, as plant matter would not be able to provide enough food for them as a species; as such, they evolved teeth similar to carnivorous lizards. Along with having denser bones than other sentient species to be able to handle harsh living conditions, they naturally grow thicker and denser nails on their fingers and toes which more closely resemble claws and were often sharpened as part of their culture to be battle-ready.

Stats
Orcs are ferocious in combat, both naturally hardy and strong with several evolutionary advantages in dealing with harsh conditions - But they are deemed physically unpleasant by most other races as well as lacking social graces due to their culture. They're also not very naturally intelligent, as their species evolved around solving problems with brute force.
