greenskins
Brutish fantasy creatures
Greenskins is a collective term in fantasy gaming and fiction for green-skinned humanoid creatures—typically orcs, goblins, and related species.
The term originated in tabletop wargaming, particularly Warhammer, and has spread to video games and fantasy literature: The greenskins were massing at the border.
It functions as both a neutral descriptor and a slur within fictional worlds.
