Orc enemy line

Orc, Orc Captain and Orc Lord are species of monsters found in Golden Sun. These monsters, resembling muscular pig-like humanoids armed with scimitars, are palette swaps of each other and have differing levels of power and defense. This is one of few monster lines were none of its members appear in Golden Sun: The Lost Age, at least as random encounters.

Cultural Allusions
Orcs are a popular creature in the fantasy genre, particularly in the stories written by the late English writer John Ronald Reuel Tolkien (best known for titles such as The Lord of the Rings, which also features Orcs). They're often described as tough, warlike humanoid creatures with faces that resemble a cross between a pig and a primate.
