 An '''orc of the ages of stars''', {{brightmagenta|o}}, is a type of [[monster]] that appears in [[dNetHack]], [[notdNetHack]] and [[notnotdNetHack]]. Orcs of the ages of stars are the strongest type of [[Orc (monster class)|orc]] that can be encountered randomly in those variants, and are far stronger than even [[Angband orc]]s. The orc of the ages of stars has 15 points of [[AC]]: 2 in the natural category, 3 in the dodge category, and 10 in the protection category.
-An orc of the ages of stars is both [[Elf (monster attribute)|elven]] as well as [[Orc (monster attribute)|orcish]], is an [[overlord]] to orckind, and acts as a commander to allied monsters. Orcs of the ages of stars can [[see invisible]], possess [[low-light vision]] that extends 3 squares, can be seen via [[infravision]], and will collect [[gold]], [[gem]]s and other items that they come across. A [[tame]] orc of the ages of stars may turn [[traitor]].

-The fearsome power of an orc of the ages of stars also makes them a stellar form for [[polymorph]]: their 18 speed and ability to [[twoweapon]], combined with their solid base defenses and ability to use all medium-sized armor and weapons effectively, make them a highly recommended choice of polyform.
