Me? I like those obscure Scandinavian ones that are like... a gnome that steals your extra raisins or whatever

    I think the first mention of an orc comes from orlando furioso. Its descrived as an enormous sea creature blind the color of fungus and a pig face.

    Wich my dad pointed out sounds a lot like medieval representations of whales. So an orc may just be an orca.

    Interestingly i hear that the italian translation of d&d translates ogers as orcs and orcs as orchetos. But i have not confirmed it.
