#1 is incorrect. The Uruk-Hai are a magically crossing goblins and orcs. Besides being stronger than orcs, they can also travel in daytime.

TIL. All of it.

I LOVE THIS
Dack105
That first one isn't actually confirmed. There are various ideas that Tolkien had concerning the origin of Orcs; corrupted elves on only one
italia06823834
Orcs are not corrupted elves. Tolkien abandoned that idea.
Syncroincity
Full backstory in "The Silmarillion"... tough read sometimes, but very informative.
MikeOfThePalace
Orcs are not corrupted Elves. That was an idea that Tolkien eventually rejected. He never settled on an origin for Orcs that satisfied him.
lashwater
These are great! More please!
Xolarix
Aren't Uruk-Hai a mix of goblins and orcs?
Jennabation
It's heavily implied in the book that Saruman further corrupted orcs by breeding them with Men, giving them resistance to sunlight and such.

love this! but please please please add a color or an outline to the text or something.

the horse and the rider poem is actually based on an Anglo-Saxon poem called The Wanderer that goes Hwær cwom mearg? Hwær cwom mago? --

i've only read the lotr series and hobbit. how is the ring a weapon in a military battle other than it allows one person to be invisible?
StupidFingAsshole
Great question! I'll answer that in my next post.
Zuzab
you rule
sildraug
The power it grants is dependent on either the race or the person, it wasn't clear. With the hobbits, it made them invisible.
Zuzab
oooooohhhhhhh, gotchya. thanks
Zuzab
makes sense that gandalf wouldnt have freaked out about being offered the ring if it only made him invisible
sildraug
Yeah, getting a part of Sauron's (a fallen maia) essence mixed in with his (a maia) would have probably caused some bad shit.
TigerTheCat
TIL. this. So, are the hobbits, the only race that become invisible with the ring?
CynicalGDog
According to the movies. No. Isildur tried to use the ring to escape the orcs but it slid off of his finger and he was killed.
TigerTheCat
Thank you, I didn't remember this. Now with the post and the comments I have several excuses to watch the movies again, for research :D

who would mate with an orc, I mean seriously?!?

It's sort of sweet that you forgot that rape is a thing
GooberSnotpants
rule 34?
smithenheimer
I thought Uruk-hai were Orcs bred with Goblins......but I'm not sure where I heard that
dominaeleonora
Doesn't Gandalf say in Rivendell (LOTR I) Saruman is crossing Goblins with Orcs...he's breeding an army that can move in sunlight.....
smithenheimer
That's exactly what he says. So now I'm all confuzzled
CraftNasty
It was in the Two Towers...how does everyone else not remember??
CraftNasty
at least you knew :)
williagr
In the book, isn't Orc and Goblin used interchangeably?
smithenheimer
see that's what I thought but it's been too long. I couldn't remember if it was from the movie or the depths of the interwebs
DougLife7
People mated with orcs?

KFizzle
Hey, who are you to judge their love, some girls love bad mutant beast men. (Naive lass riding with Orc on horse back, parents left behind)
WeAreTheNSA
Theoretically. The origins of Uruk-hai (and orcs, for that matter) is never explicitly stated; it's all conjecture.
ohnogodno
I thought it was orcs mating with goblins
ollevonfripp
If I recall correctly, orcs and goblins are the same thing. Goblin is the name for it in the common language.
bigVanilla
It looked to me like they were being dug out of some oozy sacs deep in some orc nursery
crashingrobot
That's only in the film adaptations, in the books it's heavily implied that they are either orcs that have mated with men. (1/2)
crashingrobot
Or orcs made out of corrupted men unlike regular orcs who descend from corrupted elves.
SkaterMcGee
Well I mean it was more rape than anything else, but yes.
MajorAdamska
When I read the Username Skater McGee all I can think of is, Monster Cookie Pinwheel.
SkaterMcGee
The hardest trick in skateboard history, mind you.
MajorAdamska
A monster cookie pinwheel is when you skate up to a locomotives cow catch , you 360 punk buster to the second car,

Can you imagine being raped by an orc? Being Double-Teamed? Gangbanged?

Can I get away with a "legitimate rape" joke
capslockadvices
RULE 34 HAPPENED. ALSO IF YOU DARE YOU CAN FIND SOME ON THE INTERNET
RudeDudeInABadMood
I can, however, I choose not to.
minnow1776
Can we ask questions here? Why doesn't the Ring work on Tom Bombadil?
KFizzle
Because Tombo gives no fucks, he likely predates the Maiar & possibly the Earth itself, so magics created within it can not influence him.
StupidFingAsshole
That's a really good question. I'll add that to my next one even though it doesn't have to do with the movies.
HanSolo312
Umm... The fact of the matter is there is no hard and fast explanation of Tom by J.R.R or Christopher Tolkein so no answer really.

HereticsAllOfYou
Uruk-hai were merely elite orcs bred by Sauron, like the Olog-hai being elite trolls. The first panel confuses them with Half-Orcs.
Macewindow54
ummmm nope, Urk-hai were Saurmon's thing, he kidnapped Rohanan women and made them from orks and SCIENCE, so the first panel isn'twrongrealy
avidatheist
Technically the Black Uruks were also Uruk-Hai.
Macewindow54
yea we hashed this out in pm's you want um?
avidatheist
Sure, they could make for a good read.
HommeDeBois
Can I get in on that too please?
Macewindow54
they're not that interesting but sure
HereticsAllOfYou
Again, that's not Uruk Hai, that's Half Orcs. And Saruman used Dunlendings, not Rohirrim, to make Half-Orcs.
Macewindow54
and I'm going to get out my book now because I'm almost positive that it was science and breeding the made us these orcs that can get suntan
HereticsAllOfYou
It was the "Dark Arts." They were said to be "spawned." Tolkien never explained the details as to how it was done.
Macewindow54
oh yea I do remember about the Dunlanders, but I'm pretty sure that all the Urks came from isangrd which would make them sarumans not surons
HereticsAllOfYou
Only in the movies. In the books Saruman spawned the half-orcs and used them as lieutenants. The books label Uruk-Hai as from Sauron.
Macewindow54
ok, I havent gotten the books yet, but I distinctly remember argon going on top of the wall at helms deep and being like wow Urks.
