Far-distant relatives of hobgoblins,
norkers are similar in appearance to their hobgoblin cousins but have developed 3" fangs which they USE in melee to inflict 1-3 HP of damage.
In the same round they can also attack the same opponent with a club for 1-6 points of damage,
but if they are disarmed they have no effective claw attack.

The norker has a very tough skin -- a form of exoskeleton -- which gives it AC3.

In all other respects they are similar to hobgoblins.

<1: (see D1.28, "Grakhirt's Lair", for an xample of a norker lair: levels 1-3, the lair is in the foothills of a mountain range)>
