Brown orcs spend much of their lives in the open desert, but they have not yet developed a resistance to the adverse effects of sunlight that affects many of their orcish kin. They are not as strong as common orcs, lack advanced cognitive faculties, suffer from low willpower, and are unsociable creatures.

Brown orcs speak Euroz. The language an orc speaks varies slightly from tribe to tribe, but any orc is understandable to anyone who speaks Euroz.

Combat
Brown orcs live lives as desert nomads, hunting at night and hiding from the sun during the day. Their combat tactics revolve around their hunting tactics and so they favor spears and bows as armaments for war.
