War is all that you know. For your clan, war is a permanent state of being. Just as you need meat to sustain you and leather armour to protect your leathery green skin, war keeps your thirst for chaos and violence sated.
Your clan now gathers to prepare for the war against the goblins. The creatures used to be your allies, but in the last battle they became cowardly and ran. Now there is nothing more to be done than to hunt down every one of them and serve them over your fire.
DETAILS
Epic Effects’ Carnal Orc is a full Orc Mask with a ferocious face, perfect for a true orc warrior. This mask has an orc’s distinct features, including: a low, furred brow, serrated pointy ears and a flat nose with large nostrils. The skin is leathery with creases and furrows to give the impression of recent battles. With such attention to detail, this mask achieves an aggressive appearance while also maintaining realism. The mask is open at the mouth, displaying the wearer’s lower lips and most of the chin. This leaves room for the wearer to speak and be heard properly and allows a much larger range of expressions. The mask is made from thick 100% natural high-quality latex, making it strong and durable, ensuring long life and extended reuse. The mask is a large fit, made for comfortable extended wear thanks to good ventilation. The look and style of the mask can be made to fit your unique orc by painting it on your own, as it arrives plain without any painting to give you a clean canvas.
How to use
We love offering do-it-yourself products like this unpainted mask. You can easily get the colouring you desire and set yourself apart from other orcs who use our already painted versions. Latex masks are best painted with a latex based paint, covered in thin layers and allowed to dry completely between coats. Finish with a dusting of baby powder. You can also use our water-based makeup in addition to paint, or on its own, for a more temporary fix.
INSPIRATION
- Earliest references to orcs are found in Old English and Anglo-Saxon sources, such as in Beowulf and in 16th century Italian folktales
- The word itself stems from the Latin word Orcus, which was the name given to the Roman deity of the dead
- J.R.R. Tolkien’s 20th century The Lord of the Rings series describes orcs as brutish, aggressive beings with a taste for human flesh
- Tolkien’s writings influenced many role-playing games, and are now seen in such games as Dungeons and Dragons, Warhammer and Warcraft

After each use, wash the inside of the mask with a damp sponge or cloth with a mild detergent to remove the natural oils from your skin. After drying, dust it lightly with baby powder.
Additionally, this Epic Effects Latex mask requires Epic Armory Silicone spray to help keep the latex flexible and to protect the mask against dirt, wear and tear. Spray the silicone directly on your mask and work it into the entire surface with a cloth.
Store the mask on a Styrofoam head or stuff it with plastic garbage bags to retain its shape.
