Yes!

"It isn't all that big, and it does not go far back".
Except for a hidden crack... Nasty goblinses

[Boraxxe]

OK, next one (sorry for the delay).

This creature's name is probably based on a Roman god of the underworld.


(edit: I don't mean a personal name like "Bob" or "Boraxxe", but the name of the species like "human" or "Three-toed Sloth".

I had quite a journey with this one although it should have been clear from the start. For some crazy reason I got stuck with a wrong Roman god of the underworld

Who are Orcs, soldiers of the Dark Lord?

You got it!
I was worried I would end up with a long list of hints for this one.


From Wikipedia:
Orcus was a god of the underworld, punisher of broken oaths in Italic and Roman mythology.
