orc

A Kobaloid creature possessing great strength. Orcs usually come out at night but are not fully nocturnal. They are the second most intelligent (to Goblins) and second strongest (to trolls) Kobaloids. In general they are a society of barbaric, sociopathic warriors, but some will resort to more peaceful methods. If it suits their interests, of course. Since they are, of course, not real, use this term to refer to a stupid and brutish individual.

Tom Buchanan is such an Orc.

Goblin

A short, thin, hunched, and highly intelligent Kobalic creature. Goblins are normally peaceful and quite wise, but can turn savage if enslaved or engaged in war. Tolkien seems to think they're always that way, but I think he just had a little run-in with one when he was a kid. That could've been in the First Age of Middle Earth for all I know.

Goblins are sworn enemies of Dwarves, perhaps for their shared love of gold and treasure.

Ludo sat nervously at the table with the Goblins, trying to get an extension. Then one of them decided to show him the seriousness of his debt by pulling out a hammer and a plastic bag with two grapes in it.
