The hill orc, o, is the weakest form of orc normally found in NetHack.

Generation

Hill orcs always appear in large groups, which can pose a problem to those not prepared to deal with them. They frequently carry scimitars or orcish daggers, and wear orcish helms.[1]

Strategy

Their numbers may be formidable, but they are easy to defeat individually. They usually mark one of the first instances where you will have to use crowd control strategies, such as drawing them into a corridor so that only one of them can attack you at a time.

Hill orcs make a decent source of food for a starting character, providing 200 nutrition.
