Bonechewer Clan

The Bonechewers were a particularly fearsome clan of Orcs. So savage were they that when the Orcish Horde crossed the Dark Portal, they were left behind because they would have been too difficult to control.

Distinguishing Practices
The Bonechewers derive their name from their practice of ritual cannibalism of the dead. They also adorn their clothes and homes with the shattered bones and decaying organs of their enemies, believing this practice to give them strength. They have done so since time immemorial. They were among the clans that carried out infanticide, drowning sickly and unwanted children.

Alone among the Clans, the Bonechewers refused to trade or communicate with other Orcs except at the Om'riggor until the rise of the Horde. This refusal bolstered their reputation as terrifying savages even among the Orcish Clans, as did their willingness to scavenge freely from the dead and to prey on other Clans.
