Creatures of Ithia Expanded: The Tork.

An Advanced Creature Profile by Vincent Groth.   

The Tork stands eight feet tall with bright mint green skin with small stone scabs like little black chocolate chip. Tork are halfbreeds between Orcs and Trolls, can’t reproduce, and can’t survive outside of the Horde. Tall, lithe, and extremely agile with elongated arms for easier climbing feats. They have webbed fingers and toes, gills, and specialized secondary translucent eyelids to protect their eyes in water and deflect bright light. 

Tork are around as strong as an Orc, very agile and versatile in both water, land, and climbing cliffs and trees. Torks have minor regeneration and can quickly recover their stamina if they have the calories to convert into energy. 

Tork serve as multirole scouts being highly capable swimmers, divers, climbing, and long-distance running. They are also sometimes used as line infantry as their regeneration and metabolic conversion of calories into energy to restore fatigue is unmatched, they can fight for excessively long periods of time. 

Tork are susceptible to acid, fire, and necrotic energies or anything else that would scar or hinder their regenerative powers.  Tork dislike bright light and can be easily blinded. Tork can be worn down to burn through their caloric energy and starve quickly, their metabolisms also require far more supplies than most greenskins.
