Steppeorcs

The Steppe-Orcs (S."Yrch-en-teilf"; Or."Barrafshathai"; Av."Ôrsim"; Tal."Gongtalat") were supposedly a race of Orc-kind inhabiting the wide plains of central Middle-Earth. Possibly the descendants of Gongs who had served Fankil in the Battle of Palisor they mostly lived as nomadic tribes living in round hide-tents or semi-sedentary earth-work settlements. In contrast to the western Orcs they were hirsute with all their body covered by dark hair, almost like a short pelt. Like all Orc-kind they were of under man's height and shunned the sunlight.
