Tanarukk
Naturally the offspring of demons and Orcs is an especially nasty kind of horrible. The Tanarukk are as strong as Orcs and are as evil as demons and more violent than both of them. Anyone who is not recognized as strong by the Tanarukks is either prey or practice unless they prove themselves in bloody combat.
Dumb, Violent Brutes
They are nasty, brutish, and not terribly intelligent (despite being smarter than an average Orc). In general the Tanarukks look down upon any creatures they consider weaker than themselves and hold a special enmity for Elves. The only creatures they respect are demons and powerful fiend-touched beings, such as half-fiends. They view orcs and half-orcs as valuable allies, but do not consider them equals and often coerce them into breeding with other Tanarukk. Most other intelligent humanoid races that come across Tanarukks are likely to be eaten and tortured, more often than not eaten alive.
Demonic Blooded Orc
Tanarukks appear as short, stocky Orcs with bristly hair, horns, or ridges along the sides of their heads. Their height peaks at 4 ft 6 in and they weigh around 200 lbs. Their skin tones range from grayish green and dark brown. They display razor-sharp teeth and tusks that jut out prominently from their lower jaws. They also have the distinctive smell of brimstone about them.
Violent Childhoods
Tanarukks are the product of demonic breeding programs that bred Orcs and demons into a brute of surprising strength and ferocity. The process then allowed the new monstrosities to breed true and begin a new race with a culture straight from the Abyss itself. Before a Tanarukk can be recognized as an adult, its parents or their military instructor horribly scars them using acid or a jagged blade specifically made for this purpose. They are then placed as a hunter or soldier and remain there until they die or earn sufficient recognition that they are able to hold a different position among the tribe.
