Orc

Other Versions Goblin, Troll
Experience 3
Appears Land, Dungeon Level 01–08
Orcs are the most basic enemy type in the game. They're worth little experience and will appear both on the overworld map and on any level of any dungeon. The 0-MP Wizard Spell Repond can kill them for free, though it isn't reliable and can't be used repeatedly. Still, it's worth using at the start of combat to thin their ranks.

Despite being a common foe on overworld maps, Orcs in towns are almost never aggressive. (The one in a cell in Castle Barataria is the only exception.) Overworld Orcs will run the moment they take damage, so your best bet is to have a Weapon and Strength that deal at least 16 damage per hit. This will take out Orcs in one hit, and ensure that you can kill any Creature that is running or is returning after doing so.

Orc

Appears on Dungeon/Tower Level 00–15
The Orc is the most basic dungeon Creature, which can appear on any level of a dungeon or tower. Orcs have the lowest HP of any Creature, though by level 15 it's still quite substantial. They have no special attacks, but since all Creatures' attacks scale at the same rate, they are always dangerous.
