Vary Orc Traits by Mini: D&D 5th edition

I did some variant orcs by mini for GURPS 4th edition. How about D&D 5th edition? Fifth Edition Fridays might be a thing, at least some weeks. I could benefit from practice with 5th edition rules writing.

Hand Axe. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 6 (1d6+3).

Any 5e experts see any errors? Let me know and I'll fix them. I'm still relatively new at making up 5e monsters.

  1. No Multiattack on the fanged orcs? I can't see the fangs ever getting used, otherwise.

    1. I figured it as a backup attack, but what the heck, add it!
