Random Monstrous Humanoids, Part 2 (People)

Not every monster is truly that fantastical. Some, it turns out, are much more like us than we may initially believe. Many, if not most modern interpretations of orcs and other fantasy races fall into this category of mostly being strange-looking humans. They fall in the category of looking like humans with strange makeup, less a creature of myths and more an alien from a Star Trek episode.
