Trivia
- The concept of Orcs as evil, warlike humanoids comes from The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien, who in turn was inspired by the oblique reference to "orcnéas" ("demon corpses" or evil spirits) in the Old English poem Beowulf. Orcs have since gone on to appear in numerous works of fantasy, including Dungeons & Dragons and World of Warcraft.
