Need a good name for a band of orcs

[Loonook]

Gornok's Wolf Riders

(also, they must ride wolves)

No, there are no wolves involved at all.

Then, when the players are just about to turn the tide, they see...

A dozen wolves riding on the backs of horses.

WHAT A TWIST!

Now all the Animal Training makes sense...

Slainte,

-Loonook.

 

[Kaodi]

The Gor Wave

Pun fully intended.

Are you asking what they should be called by their enemies or what do they call themselves?

Who have they killed?

What have they done?

Are they despicable, ruthless, vile, sadistic, cowardly?

Are they a roaring lion or a ravenous dog?

Little Fuzzy Bunnies

Bone Suckers

The Crimson Horde - so named for their habit of using the blood of their fallen foes as war paint. They also tend to favor red as the color of their banner.

One trick I learned from a Dungeon magazine adventure from many moons ago (I think it was The Inheritance if memory serves me well) was naming a band of monsters for the kinds of trophies they took from their fallen enemies.
So, if your orc horde takes the skulls from defeated foes they could be the Head Takers or Skull Takers. Hands? Maybe the Severed Hands or Bloody Hand. They can take just about any body part as trophies and you got an instant name for the monsters as well as some instant fluff. What's cool and a bit gruesome is that this trophy taking can also distinguish how tough and powerful a particular orc (or monster) is within his group. A lowly warrior from the Severed Hands might just have a necklace with the hands of a few goblins and a halfling while a greater warrior might have a shield adorned with ogre hands and an elf or two.

Thanks for the suggestions everybody - I've gone with the idea from [MENTION=1861]Loonook[/MENTION] - the Band of the Burnt Bones.

Blood Bath Orcs-they slit the troats of downed players-I love to see the players squirm when they see them!
