Orcs should reproduce asexually by releasing spores via their blood. So the more orcs fight (and the more orc blood is spilled) the more orcs will sprout from the ground.
Isn't that basically how 40k Orcs do it?
Yeah, I should have given credit to Warhammer in my comment
That's a really cool concept! But one of my design choices was to stick to D&D5e-compatible races in case I want to run a campaign in-world
So I needed in-world reasons why orcs and elves could hybridize with humans, but the other races couldn't. For example, a human could participate in the creation of a dwarf, and it would contain part of their soul and be as much their child as its other parents', but the result wouldn't be a half-dwarf, it'd just be a dwarf =)
