Hulks are a cousin race of Orcs
About
‘Hulks’, or species GO-84 as they are labelled in ETCU records, are genetically distinct from (though closely related to) the more common Orcs of Gora. Indeed it is supposed that their slower metabolism and reduced reproductive rate are the only reasons Hulks are not the dominant species of the two. The largest Hulks approach three meters in height and are deployed carrying the largest portable weapons in a warband’s armoury.
These colossal cousins of the Orcs stand a literal head and shoulder above them in size and strength. Although clearly from the same species – sharing the top heavy musculature and prominent under biting tusks – hulks have somehow grown to a size so immense that human exobiologists are at a loss to explain why. It could be that once even larger, more dangerous creatures roamed Gora’s surface in its pre-history, and in an evolutionary arms race the Hulks evolved enough mass and strength to be able to flip a tank. Whatever the reason, the rest of the galaxy is simply glad the Hulks do not breed at the same rate as Orcs.
