Ecology

Gray Orc is a sentient species with its own culture, settlements, and political structure. It is most often found in hill regions. It is medium-sized, which shapes how it hunts, hides, or fights.

Behaviour

Gray Orc is driven by culture, faction, and personal motive; can be reasoned with, bribed, or betrayed. Its Neutral alignment shapes how it engages with the world — predictable in tendency, even when unpredictable in detail. It is intelligent enough to plan, scheme, or remember.

Origin

Gray Orc is introduced in Kobold Press's Tome of Beasts 2 (2020). Within a campaign, its existence anchors a region with the kind of weight only an old, named species carries.
