'''Bork''' is a level 267 [[Ork]] summoned by [[Surok Magis]] in the multi-combat area [[Chaos Tunnels]] during the [[Chaos Tunnels: The Hunt for Surok|The Hunt for Surok]] [[miniquest]]. He may be battled once per day during and after the [[Chaos Tunnels: The Hunt for Surok|Hunt for Surok]] [[miniquest]]; earning players 5,000 [[Slayer]] experience for the first kill and 250 experience for each kill thereafter. This slayer experience is doubled to 500 per kill if the player has completed the [[Varrock Tasks#Elite Tasks|Varrock Elite Tasks]].

Bork is the only monster with a 100% chance of a [[charm]] drop and will drop 4 [[Blue charm|blue]], 7 [[Crimson charm|crimson]] and 3 [[Green charm|green]] [[charms]] upon death. These amounts are doubled upon completion of the Varrock Elite Tasks, and improved (not doubled) if wearing a [[Ring of Wealth]].

These increases stack with each other. Killing Bork at least once is a requirement for starting the [[While Guthix Sleeps]] [[quest]] and is an elite [[Varrock Task]].

==Getting there==
For those who are willing to enter the [[Wilderness]] and potentially be attacked by other players, the fastest route is via the rope down to the [[gargoyle]] room.

'''NOTE:''' Players cannot use the rope to exit the Wilderness if they have been in combat in the last 10 seconds. This includes players who are being attacked but not retaliating.

Use the following maps to get to Bork quickly after you have done the miniquest. You will pass though the room with [[bronze dragon]]s on the way to Bork, and may randomly arrive unexpectedly in a room containing dragons if a portal randomly malfunctions as it is used. Wielding an [[anti-dragon shield]] or using other suitable defence against [[dragonfire]] until the final portal ([[Dagannoth]] room) is the safest course of action. You will then have the opportunity to kill Bork.

[[Dust devil]]s are not [[aggressive]] so no protection prayer is needed in their room. [[Monk of Zamorak|Monks of Zamorak]] are not aggressive to players with a combat level over 91. The second to last room has bronze dragons, remember your anti-dragon shield.

For those who prefer to travel to Bork without exposing themselves to the dangers of the Wilderness, they can take a longer route via the [[Saradomin]] statue as per [[The Hunt for Surok]] miniquest. Players should note that they can attempt to follow more direct routes than the highly circuitous one enforced on the player during the miniquest. The shortest route from the initial room with the [[giant ant]]s to the final room with the dagannoth involves only 13 portals (though malfunctioning portals can increase or decrease this).

File:Red line getting to the Bork (no pkers).png|The path shown here is the most direct way to reach Bork while avoiding the Wilderness entirely. Note that dust devils and [[infernal mage]]s are not aggressive and there is no protection prayer needed in their rooms. Monks of Zamorak are not aggressive to players with a combat level over 91, and the [[ice warrior]]s stop being aggressive to players with a combat level over 114. In the room with [[Zamorak warrior]]s and Dagon'hai monks, protection from magic is better than protection from melee, as the monks can target a player from a distance.

'''Note:''' The Grand Exchange Market price is given per 1 item.

Also note that each [[Ork legions|Ork legion]] usually drops a single charm, although not 100% of the time. The most common is a gold charm, but green and crimson charms are also possible. The triple charms from the [[Familiarisation]] [[D&D]] does not have any effect on Bork or his legions.

As seen in the table above, after completion of '''all''' [[Varrock Tasks]] Bork's coin, gem, and charm drops are doubled.

==Trivia==
*"Bork" is a reference to the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borg_(Star_Trek) Borg] , a race in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek Star Trek], that seeks to forcefully add other species into their collective. When fighting the Ork Legions that Bork summons, they may shout phrases like "We are the collective!" "Resistance is futile!", clear references to the Borg in Star Trek.
*"Bork" is also a portmanteau of the two words 'Big' and '[[Ork]]'. This is played on in his examine text which says "That's one big Ork..."
* The Adventurer's log message will say ''"I killed Bork, a big ork"'', after defeating Bork. There was a grammatical error when a player killed more than one Bork. It stated: "I killed 2 Borks, a big orks." This has been fixed and now says "I killed 2 Borks, they were big orks".
* If you killed Bork prior to the release of the achievement diaries, it will not count as completed. However, it will still count towards the While Guthix Sleeps requirement.
* Despite being an Ork, a species usually associated with Bandos, Bork seems to follow, or at least be affiliated with, Zamorak. However, during the [[Fur 'n' Seek Wishlist|Fur 'n' Seek wishlist]] you are asked to seek out the femur of a large follower of Bandos, and since Bork drops it, that would make him a follower of Bandos.
* "Borked" is coder's slang for something that is broken, or in disarray. This may be a reference to the disorganised state of the Chaos Tunnels.
* Currently, after a graphical update to the [[Chaos Tunnels]], there is a glitch with the exit portal, which will not let the character leave by choice after fighting Bork (and presumably, while fighting Bork as well if an escape is needed). The portal refuses to teleport the character, stating that it is unavailable at the moment. The character continues to be hit with the falling rocks until the normal "force to leave" timer expires, then the character is expelled, exclaiming, as they are teleported back to the [[Earth Warriors]]/[[Bronze Dragons]] cave, "I'm getting out of here." If you are low level, take extra food to allow for the extra rock damage, or a teleport method such as a ring, tabs, tele spell, etc. (all of which do work).
* There is also a change in behavior after the [[Chaos Tunnel]] graphical update. Previously, one could enter mere seconds before [[reset]] and fight Bork, exit to the [[Earth Warriors]]/[[Bronze Dragons]] and immediately return to Bork and fight a second time (thus making an effcient double fight trip) as [[reset]] had occured ''during'' the fight. Currently, you ''must finish the fight and exit <u>prior to</u> [[reset]]'', or you cannot return for the full 24 hours until the next [[reset]]. It is unknown whether this is a glitch or intended behavior
