Bred from orc slaves and demons, tanarukks are a powerful and evil
strain of planetouched who are spreading across the North. Due to
their orc blood, they breed rapidly, and there are more tanarukk's
than any other race of planetouched. Entire tribes of the creatures
have taken root in the Nether Mountains, and continue to breed true.
Originally created to be shock troops in Hellgate keep for their
demon masters, they have the ability to breed true to both other orcs
and to tanarukks.
Tanarukks are fairly standard in appearence. They resemble short
and stocky orcs with stooped postures. Coarse hair covers their heads
as well as other odd patches on their bodies. They have sharp teeth
and prominent lower tusks with lower jaws that protrude farther than
their small snouts.
Tanarukks favor the barbarian class, finding solace in the brutal
rages they can then evoke, pleasing to both their orc and demon
natures. Of the few spellcasters they do have, many prefer the ease
of sorcery or the calling of a cleric. They tend to favor spells that
summon evil outsiders, blast their enemies with fire, or enhance their
physical power. Tanarukk also rely heavily on the gifts of their
demon heritage.
