#orcs
FWIW, this is the entry that the MM would use for ACTUAL TRIBAL HUMANS

Can we complain about that? Sure! No issue. It needs improvement. Also: its for wargame-sized groups and tells you what you want to know for a wargame.
also THE PICTURE OF THE ORCS
and ANOTHER thing.... Hobgoblins have almost exactly the same writeup in the text as Orcs. Tribes, Chiefs, rivalries, Building on the ruins of "more sophisticated creatures" etc.

Hobgoblins can actually talk to carnivorous apes.....

Thoughts on #Gygax, #Orcs and the infamous Chivington quote. A 🧵

LONG! TL:DR Gygax didn't want you to play the moral questions of the game One Way, but wanted you to consider playing with a archaic mythic mindset. Also the Chivington quote is terrible. #dnd
Why am I going into this?

Gygax explaining the moral permissibility of a Paladin executing prisoners who convert to LG has done more to render the idea of Orcs as a humanoid monster disposed to evil completely toxic in a way it would not had Gygax never explained it that way.
Orcs are, in the AD&D Monster Manual, Lawful Evil "race" of humanoid monsters (illustrated with pig-like faces) that are like Hobgoblins or Kobolds described as grouping together in "tribes" and typically ruled in large numbers by a chief. Image
