Cannibalism is defined as humans eating humans or animals eating their own kind. I'm not aware of a word that refers to sentients eating sentients of a different species. The concept does raise some questions that are interesting if unpleasant to think about. If you find orc porc disturbing, is it more because orcs are (kind of) intelligent or more because they resemble humans? Are you equally disturbed by dragon steak? How about in settings where dragons are depicted as purely malevolent?Is it just me that thinks the way manga protagonists like to kill and eat orcs is extremely creepy?
They are explicitly shown to use language and tools, so isn't it pretty much cannibalism?
It's even yuckier if the orcs themselves feasted on humans previously...
But somehow, a lot of people seem to think that a mermaid eating fish, any fish, is cannibalism. It's as much cannibalism as humans eating pork. Regular pork, not porc.I'm not aware of a word that refers to sentients eating sentients of a different species.
