Tanarukk

The Tanarukk are a cross breed between Demons and Orcs. This is usually achieved by mortals asking the demon lord Baphomet for the knowledge to transform orcs into a Tanarukk. This process is done to an unborn orc so it is born as a Tanarukk. Tanarukk usually don't live very long or have offspring as orcs usually kill a Tanarukk before it can breed as it is a force of destruction.
