===[[Orks]] vs. [[Orc#Warcraft|Orcs]]===

While it is true that the light green skin, angry porcine face with lots of tusks, and heavyset jawlines are traits shared across the two species of Orcoids, that's about where the similarities end. While [[Orks]] are brutal, fun-loving homicidal maniacs who love [[Dakka]] and only momentarily hesitate to shoot something if it's sufficiently green and orky, [[orcs]] in Blizzard's universe actually eventually filled the unique role of being good guys. For the most part, anyway. Back when they were first through the portals they were extremely bloodthirsty but as time has gone on they've settled down nicely. This is actually a first, as few fictional settings are really known for having Orcs who can be described as friendly (''[[Strike Legion]]'' and Elder Scrolls being two other notable examples). In fact, the Orcs of Blizzard's universe are the glue of their faction, serving as the lynch-pin by which the other races come together as one Horde. 

Similarly, <span style='color:green;font-size:115%'>Orkzes iz da biggest an' da strongest.</span>. A lowly Ork boy is far more buff and much heavier than your standard human, and he only gets bigger as he ages. Orcs, while significantly physically imposing, are roughly the same height as average humans, and are dwarfed by their [[Minotaur|Tauren]] allies. 

In addition, Orcs spawned a total of three [[BBEG]]s of the setting, including the first Lich King himself, while most other races, except dragons and (technically) Draenei, have their count on one or zero. The Orks, on the other hand, ''are'' the BBEGs.
