History Characters / WarhammerAgeOfSigmarGrandAlliancedestruction

* TookALevelInKindness: ''Heavily'' downplayed, and it generally depends on the specific type of Orruk (i.e., the Orruk Kruleboyz are even ''nastier'' on average than the cruelest Orcs of the World-That-Was), but the various Orruks of ''Age of Sigmar'' overall trend closer to the "ChaoticNeutral" side of things than the "ChaoticEvil" side that the vast majority of orcs in the other ''Warhammer'' settings. What certainly helps is how ''Age of Sigmar'' puts more focus on their BlueAndOrangeMorality (with them all being such {{Blood Knight}}s that their wars against the various Order factions is based [[NothingPersonal less in genuine malice]] and more in [[WorthyOpponent that they provide great fights]]), and Orruks overall are more willing to not combat innocent civilians since they see them as NotWorthKilling. A good example of this can be seen in the ''WesternAnimation/HammerAndBolter'' episode "Double or Nothing," where the Stormcast Hamilcar Bear-Eater [[BavarianFireDrill bullshits his way into an Ironjawz war camp]], and instead of killing him on the spot, the Orruk guards are more just confused on why he's there, interested primarily in getting him to piss off, and even provide him directions on where to meet their Megaboss after he insists on it enough times.

* Blood Knight: They're perpetually angry if they're not currently in a fight. So it's safe to say they're the happiest race in ''Age of Sigmar''.

* CompositeCharacter: Despite being the fusion of the old Orc and Goblin gods Gork and Mork, Gorkamorka is also worshipped as the Great Beast that Consumes the World by the Gutbusters, in the almost exact fashion according to which the Ogres of the World-that-was worshipped the Great Maw.

* LiteralSplitPersonality: He's a fusion of the old orc gods, Gork, the god of ferocity, and Mork, the god of trickery. He tends to split apart again whenever his two halves argue, which is often.

* NominalHero: While he still sided with the Alliance, he only did so because they provided him with a constant stream of targets to fight, not out of any sense of goodness.
* TheStarscream: He promptly betrayed the Alliance once he grew bored of not being allowed to rampage as he pleased.

* Blood Knight: They're perpetually angry if they're not in a fight right now. So it's safe to say they're the happiest race in Age of Sigmar.

* FunetikAksent: As is traditional for Creator/GamesWorkshop greenskins, orruk speech is rendered phonetically in heavily broken English.

* TookALevelInBadass: The Orruks are bigger and stronger than their ''Fantasy'' ancestors, closer to (though nowhere near on par with) [[TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 Orks]] in terms of size and strength, which is reflected in their stats. Case in point, while a regular Orc Boy was worth as many points as a standard human soldier in ''Fantasy'',[[note]]The Orc had 1 extra point of Toughness and got +1 to Strength in the first round only to reflect its moderate strength advantage (the Orc and human were otherwise both Strength 3). A State Troop, compared to an Orc, had 1 extra point in Initiative to reflect its moderate speed advantage, plus either 1 extra point in Weapon Skill (if a swordsman) or a better weapon (if a halberdier) to reflect better training.[[/note]] Orruk units generally have twice the per-model point cost as Freeguild ones.

* DualWielding: Gordrakk is armed with a pair of brutal axes known as Smasha and Kunnin', each blessed by one half of Gorkamorka. Smasha has been filled with the essence of Gork so that it seeks out the blood of enemy Heroes (giving it a chance of doing extra [[UnblockableAttack mortal wounds]] against them), while Kunnin' is blessed by Mork to hunt for enemy magic users (also having a chance of causing extra mortal wounds). These weapons were originally part of a single axe known as Worldchoppa but Gordrakk broke it into two so that he could kill more enemies with them.
* MultipleChoicePast: While the most popular theory for Gordrakk's origins is that he was made by Gorkamorka from one of his knucklebones to free the orruks of Ghur from the yoke of Chaos, other stories also exist, including that he was originally a boy from the Fang-krushas warclan, and another that Gorkamorka has tasked him to lead the hunt for the Spirit of the Realm of Beasts itself. No orruk truly cares where Gordrakk came from, least of all the Fist of Gork himself, and are content to follow him as long as he leads them to the best fights.

--> "Humies, eh? You lot all watch out. See, Mork and me? We'z good mates and he lets me ''understand'' things. Da old words. Dat way da warclans will do whatever Kragnos says...or [[ManipulativeBastard what ever I tell 'em 'e says, anyway]]."

** Notably, Gutbusterss avoid eating [[OurGoblinsAreDifferent Gnoblars]] when possible; Gnoblars taste bad and there's not much in the way of meat to begin with, and they're generally more useful as gofers and lackeys than as meals. Note that Ogors are not above eating them; they're just never a first pick. Ogors will still eat them if no other sources of meat around, or if the Gnoblar annoys them.

* YellowPeril: Fortunately, the worst aspects of this trope are downplayed. A few Ogor models are designed with distinctly Asian characteristics, to include stereotypical Fu Manchu style mustaches, but most models are given more Western qualities

* AssKickingEqualsAuthority: Any Gargant belligerent or drunk enougth to challenge Brodd usually gets their skulls beaten in by his club.

* ThePigPen: While all Troggoths are filthy creatures, Fellwater Troggoths are the most disgusting of their kind. These swamp dwelling Troggoths are covered in dirty, slimy scales and smell so bad that some say it is worse than that of a plague daemon. These repulsive creatures are smell so foul that they have the Terrible Stench ability, which reduces their enemy's chances of hitting them as they struggle not to vomit.

* AsskickingLeadsToLeadership: Frostkings and Frostlords are the leaders of the Beastclaw Raiders. To become one, an Ogor must undertake the Rite of Hoctgar, and travel alone into the wilderness to hunt down and a slay a beast mighty enough to feed the entire tribe. At any time, however, the Frostking can be challenged by a rival to a duel that sees both combatants battle atop mighty Stonehorns in a privative parody of knightly jousting. The winner, naturally, [[ImAHumanitarian consumes the loser]] and his mount is served to the tribe.

* HighlyVisibileNinja: What else would you expect from a 2000lb Ogor dressed as a ninja?

** One legend states claims that its Gorkamorka's [[BreathWeapon frozen breath]], breathed as DivineRetributiom upon the descendants of the first Frost King, [[FounderOfTheKingdom Baergut Vosjarl]], after he feasted upon the frozen remains of an ur-bear Jorhar, which Gorkamorka was saving for himself.

* MysteriousPast: Little is known of the Yhetees and even their origins remain largely unknown, as they do not discuss it even with their kin in the Beastclaw Raiders. [[MultipleChoisePast Many prevailing theories and legends surround their origins]]. Scholars from the Realm of Heavens believe that the Yhetee are literally born from the wintry storms of the Mortal Realms while the Weirdnob Shamans of the Icecracks Warclan believe they are the divine children of Gorkamorka.

* OurOgresAreHungrier: In addition to their endless and massive hunger, Warhammer ''Ogors'' are [[TheBigGuy big]], [[FatAndProud fat]], [[FatBastard mean]], [[JabbaTheHuttTableManners messy]] and [[FatIdiot not very bright]]. Unfortunately for others, they're also [[StoutStrength very strong]], [[{{Kevlard}} very tough]] and [[Acrofatic deceptively fast for their size]].

* AlwaysABiggerFish: He was larger than even Behemat, who's hands were the size of islands. According to Kragnos, he could hold entire Moral Realms in the palms of his hands and shake them like baubles.

* The Gunslinger: Certain ogors (such as Tyrants) wield ogor pistols or braces of them. It should be noted that given the size of ogors, these aren't pistol-sized by our standards, as regular human pistols are too flimsy for ogors to use, and too large for gnoblars.
* Hand Cannon: The Ogor pistols carried by Tyrants are big guns by human standards. There's also Ogor Leadbelchers, who carry actual cannons and use them as if they were giant-sized bazookas.

* VileVulcher: BeastClaw Mawtribes are often shadowed by Blood Vultures, large carrion birds that Huskards and Beastriders use to hunt prey and harrass enemies.

* ProBonoBarter: Ogors have little understanding of currency or wealth and as such Maneaters generally prefer their pay to take the form of particularly tasty food or ostentatious clothing.

* WeaponsKitchenSink: Maneaters are armed with a variety of weapons that they have picked up in their travels from [[EpicFlail flails]] and [[DropTheHammer hammers]] to [[SinisterScimitar scimitars]] and large [[StockNinjaWeaponry ninjatō]]. The model for the pirate costumed Maneater even wields a [[AnchorsAway large rusted anchor]].
