Orkans are a humanoid species almost identical to Earth's humans in appearance, but unlike them, they have a number of genetic differences that an earthling would not be aware of without extensively getting to know an Orkan. An Orkan for example has many organs similar to an earthlings, but unlike them, they have three hearts and no liver. Their ears are also just removable attachments and for some Orkans it is difficult to tell the difference between a male and female as "some parts" are also interchangeable (apparently referring to the breasts), however this was not a matter of confusion with Orkans before as romance had long since been outlawed along with emotions, although as Mork's reports about Earth have grown in popularity, it seems Orkans have adopted to be more physically similar

| - Orkans are a humanoid species almost identical to Earth's humans in appearance, but unlike them, they have a number of genetic differences that an earthling would not be aware of without extensively getting to know an Orkan. An Orkan for example has many organs similar to an earthlings, but unlike them, they have three hearts and no liver. Their ears are also just removable attachments and for some Orkans it is difficult to tell the difference between a male and female as "some parts" are also interchangeable (apparently referring to the breasts), however this was not a matter of confusion with Orkans before as romance had long since been outlawed along with emotions, although as Mork's reports about Earth have grown in popularity, it seems Orkans have adopted to be more physically similar to humans by being more easy to tell apart. Orkan ancestry is notable for the fact that ancient Orkans did not descend from anything remotely humanoid and instead descended from Ork's native chickens, which would explain their strong fascination with eggs and domestic fowl. The fact that they are descended from birds may explain the detachable parts mentioned above as chickens do no have human-like ears or breasts, suggesting Orkans were unable to naturally develop them and had to artificially make said parts to better blend in with other humanoid aliens. Orkans are also unique in that they drink through their fingers and are also capable of freely changing their skin color from human-like tones to a glowing green color. Orkans are very long lived, as Mork has implied to have lived many "Bleems" (which is the equivalent of 2000 Earth years).
