    "And this is my vassal Mahk the Orcess," I gestured towards my imposing pet. She simply grunted. Orcs hated social formalities.

    My gaze fell on an orcess. It was the first time I'd seen a woman from the race of the Firstborn. She looked a lot like Miralissa, except that her hair wasn't gathered into a braid, but a long tail. The orcess was armed with two crooked swords and the sculptor had caught her as she was spinning around.

    2012, Alexey Pehov, translated by Andrew Bromfield, Shadow Blizzard, Simon & Schuster, page 175

    Kalatea was an orc-more precisely an orcish madien^([sic]). Hmm...Or is it orcess? I don't know what the proper term for her was, but the main gist was evident-she was large and green.
