Orcs are a staple of any fantasy setting. A common, ugly, smelly, stupid, and violent monster solely for the good guys to beat the tar out of. There's exceptions, sure, but for the most part they serve as a generic baddie that gets in the way, just like goblins or giant rats.
Orcs dwell somewhere between Dwarves and Ogres in terms of civility. They're competent craftsmen, but they prefer actually using the stuff over making it. Despite a knack for having loose tempers and being prone to violent outbursts, Orcs make very good bodyguards. Orc bodyguards tend to be downright sunny in disposition. It's a bit shocking for some people to take in.
