* The ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'' movies had only guy orcs. Possibly justified since they're asexually reproducing (though [[Word of God]] would disagree, maybe; Tolkien wasn't known for being specific about the [[Brain Bleach|sexual predilections of orcs]])...yech.
** This is true for the movie version; however, Tolkien had written that "Orcs multiply after the fashion of the Children of Illuvatar", i.e. elves and men. (Written here because there's no Literature section on this page.)
** In just about any fantasy setting, it is rare for female goblins, orcs, trolls, ogres, or giants to be mentioned. There are of course exceptions (such as [[Xanth]], [[Shrek]], and tabletop games run by particularly forward-minded [[Game Master]]s), but they tend to be rare.
