orcish
Like tusked raiders
Orcish describes something characteristic of orcs—the brutish, warlike creatures of fantasy fiction popularized by Tolkien and later by games like Dungeons & Dragons and World of Warcraft.
The word suggests crude, aggressive, or savage qualities: orcish behavior, orcish architecture.
In gaming contexts, Orcish may refer to the language spoken by orcs: He learned to speak Orcish.
