Dire orc

Dire orcs are apparently heavily mutated orcs.
==Background==
Dire orcs are created through Bleeding Hollow clan rituals, though Twilight's Hammer would seem to know how to create them as well; it is unclear if the Twilight's Hammer has their own methods or have adopted the Bleeding Hollow's.
The first dire orc was seen in the Black Temple. Gurtogg Bloodboil, a member of Bonechewer clan and leader of the local fel orcs. After the Cataclysm, Raz Skullcrusher was captured by the Twilight's Hammer clan and empowered into a dire orc by magic energies. Later, a group known as the Dark Shaman tried to recreate the Twilight ascension process. The experiment resulted in a dire orc: Lava Guard Gordoth.
==Appearance==
Dire orcs are monstrous, mutated orcs. Due to the wide variety of orc clans and skin colors, their appearances are drastic. Their skin colors include green, yellow-green, red (fel), gray, gray-purple and pale gray/white.
==Trivia==
* Dire pale orcs and Blackrock orcs appear on Old Draenor as part of the Iron Horde.
