[Sizzlefoot]

I was thinking in make orcs like the norse dwarves, appearing as maggots to eventually become small, stunted, pale and cadaveric beings resembling dead persons who are good working metals and jewels.

I might do this with my goblins. After all, I already have them rising from the corpse of a gigantic primordial being.
