Ork (folklore)
The ork is a demon of Tyrol alpine folklore. He lives on mountains, almen, rock holes, or valleys. He warns the noble game of hunters, or can be savage and bring geisser to the cattle.

Ork (video Game)
''Ork'' is a video game made for the Amiga and Atari ST personal computers. It was developed by WJS Design and published by Psygnosis in 1991. ''Ork'' is a platform game with 5 levels. It takes place on an alien planet called Cisskei, where the main character, an alien called Ku-Kabul, must find his way through each level. The levels are filled with tasks such as solving the puzzles or fighting enemies. Ku-Kabul is equipped with a machine gun and a jetpack with limited ammunition and fuel, necessitating careful use of tools until the game allows the player to restock their items. Keeping with Psygnosis's tradition of including references to earlier games, the third level of ''Ork'' includes a moment where Lemmings spawn, walk a few dozen metres, then jump off a cliff. The theme music is composed by Tim Bartlett. The cover artwork for ''Ork'' consists of the image ''Behemoth's World'', which was painted by Richard Clifton-Dey, and was previously used as the cover for Blue Öyster ...

Ork (Warhammer 40,000)
In the fictional universe of ''Warhammer 40,000'', the Orks are a race of aliens and a playable army in the tabletop miniatures wargame. Alongside the Space Marines, Orks are one of the most iconic elements of the ''Warhammer 40,000'' universe. Orks revel in violence for its own sake; their entire culture revolves around warfare. They are one of the oldest, most widespread and persistent of the Imperium's enemies and even outnumber the quadrillions strong humanity as a species, making them the most numerous species in the galaxy. Their simplistic personalities, reckless tactics and ramshackle technology make them the comic relief characters of the setting. Tabletop game mechanics The Orks are oriented towards melee combat; their ranged units are rather weak. Most of their units have weak armour and are thus easy to kill, but they are cheap and thus can make up for this weakness with numbers. A favourite strategy has been "the Green Tide": the player fields as many Ork Boyz as t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
