Fun fact: in the Warhammer 40 000 universe, after the initial lore stated that they reproduced sexually like most other species, the orcs eventually got ret-conned to be that they were neither male nor female, and reproduced asexually like fungi. They constantly gave off spores, which took root in the soil on whatever planet they happened to be on.
As well as conveniently explaining where baby orcs come from, this also meant that any planet on which orcs had been present would some day randomly have an orc uprising occur, for which the only remedy was to 'glass' the planet sterile with orbital bombardment...
