Topic	Why do so many fantasy games use Orcs?
Sahuagin 09/16/18 11:29:33 AM #12:	Gaawa_chan posted... They aren't really similar to, say, Warcraft orcs. yeah, in LotR, "orcs" are more like goblins (the books even say goblins and orcs are the same thing), and Uruk-Hai are a little more like what we think of as orcs. Gaawa_chan posted... a class of fire-related demons, so they take the name and the fire and leave everything else. I've seen fire demons that carry a sword and a whip/flail, but were not named "Balrog". it should be as non-existent as a halfling race named "Hobbit". eg: it's hard to make out, but one of Fire's magical creatures is a balrog, and I always call it a balrog, but I'm pretty sure in-game it's just called "Demon" (I probably have this chart somewhere in my storage room but I'm too lazy to go look for it): --- *The truth basks in scrutiny.* https://imgur.com/GMouTGs http://projecteuler.net/profile/Sahuagin.png <cite>Sahuagin posted [p:908856885] in Why do so ...
