Background[]
Orcs are the main footsoldiers seen in Naaldir's army. As such you'll encounter them often on Elysion. They carry swords to slice and dice their opponents in melee. In addition to that, they can also toss black powder bombs at you. They go down pretty easily, but can be dangerous in high numbers or as meat shields for more powerful adversaries.
- Using the MIA Gun on the orc unlocks Explosive Bandolier research project.
Variants[]
There are a few variants of the Orcs:
- Green - common orcs, pretty weak and the ones you'll encounter most often.
- Red (spritepal 25) - these orcs are bigger and stronger than the regular ones. They are quite rare.
- Purple (spritepal 63) - undead orcs. They get resurrected by the dark magic of Naaldir. They're much tougher than any of the other orcs. When killed, they'll go up in blue flames, and their bones will crumble. The orcs cannot be resurrected if they have been killed via headshot, explosion, freeze or fire.
Bestiary Information[]
Green humanoids; they seem to be roughly of human intelligence, but Naaldir's presence has sapped their will and turned them into indiscriminate killers.
MIA Description[]
Again, extremely similar to humans; infact so similar that it's entirely possible there may be half-orcs roaming around Elysion somewhere.
Trivia[]
The book "Denizens of the Realms" that can be found in the Axon's Library also mentions brown, black and even blue orcs, but these are nowhere to be found in the game.
