ORC
Survey group initials
An orc is a brutish, aggressive humanoid creature in fantasy fiction—typically ugly, warlike, and evil.
Tolkien's orcs in *The Lord of the Rings* established the archetype, and the creature became a staple of fantasy games and literature.
In gaming contexts, orcs are often playable characters with warrior-type attributes.
Separately, ORC as an acronym stands for various things, including organized retail crime—coordinated theft rings that steal merchandise for resale.
