Orcs, in their unskilled form, are basic and primitive monsters that are particularly common in the game. They are a common sight in many dungeon levels; and tension rooms and lesser vaults on low DL areas are likely to contain orcs. Even if a lesser vault mainly consists of ogre species, orcs may still appear in it. They are generally weak monsters, with mediocre-to-average fighting abilities. They tend to carry orcish knives, and can throw one at the PC as a ranged attack.
