uruk-hai

We now see the events of the previous chapter through the eyes of Pippin and Merry and their captors, the orcs including the Uruk-Hai. The previous chapter introduced the Riders of the Mark and explained how they operated and were organised, and this chapter does the same with the orc band who...

Greetings Tolkien Enthusiasts and Fellow Reenactors! I trust I will manage to find some help here. Year after year, my brother and I participate in the grand Battle of Grunwald reenactment, one of Europe's most significant historical reconstructions. As the main rehearsal day before the main...

Hello, I am getting a new puppy and am considering naming him Úlairi, Urulóki or Uruk. I would like his call name to tie into his registered name but am having a hard time coming up with something (call name and reg name must start with a U). Some examples would be, Reg name : Out of the Ashes /...

In terms of physical strength, I think the uruk-hai are stronger than the high elves who have returned from valinor to middle-earth. Which one do you think would win?

Courtesy, civility, & fair-play seem to come up quite a bit in LoTR. A few of my favourites: 1. Galadriel to Gimli (in Lorien) : "it is said that the skill of the Dwarves is in their hands rather than in their tongues, yet that is not true of Gimli. For none have ever made to me a request so...

Why do orcs, uruk hai and goblins seem so easy to defeat? For example, there are moments in the movies that the orcs and the uruk hai already fall/die after one small hit. They are bred to be strong fighters, right?

I'm a bit confused about a few of these dark species. I always thought that Uruk-Hai were formed by crossing Orcs and Men, but then I heard that it was goblin men, and then I heard that it was just goblins. So I have a few questions: 1.) Which two species are crossed to form Uruk-Hai? 2.)...

Seems the Uruk-Hai are revolting. No, really. Check this out: //bbspot.com/News/2003/03/uruk-hai.html

it came a bit odd to me that their was way more than 10,000 uruk-hai at helms deep. Their seamed like atleast 30,000. and when gandalf shows up, it seams like about 10,000 are left!!!

I was thinking a day or two agi who my fav uruk hai was. Mine was the one at helms deep that commanded the army to halt. (the one on the rock, i dont know his name if he had one!) Then it would be Lurtz, Olympic torch runner then Ugluk!!

i KNOW THAT Sauruman established Uruk-hais but how exactly were they created. i heard it was half man and orc. i remmenber in the fellowship that orc were once elves, is some elvish apart of them????

Simple question, how, HOW did a 10,000 strong army of super warriors get defeated by a small band of no more that 3000 strong sortie of men and elves (most were old or young)?!?! it perplexes me, i mean if the Uruk-hai were as strong powerful and etc as all that how did they get defeated by thet...

Urk-Hai and Free Will This is totally off speculation... The orcs were made from elves, created to be sub-human, evil creatures with no sense of right or wrong and unimpressive intelligence.... right? Now this I'm not sure of, but I believe that Orcs existed dependant on their master...

Okay we all know that tolkien took bits of other languages to create his own. But heres what atleast I didnt know. If africa there was a monster (this is a legend by the way) called HAI-uru. This monster hunted human prey. Sounds pretty uruk hai like to me. Gollum: a jewish monster...

We know that Saruman made the Uruk Hai.But did he make it from soil,like in the film.I think that Uruk Hai is a generation created from orcs and humans,or sth. else.But Peter Jakson showed that they are created from soil.Is he right.Or does he have a right to change the book???

Ive got 2 questions. : When does the book mention that arwen is in love with aragorn??? ive found it realy hard to read when i dont even know about arwen:confused: Secondly, When does the book mention that Sauramon is making the Uruk-Hais. Or to put it simply, the mining beneath...

Just thought I'd share. I'm likin' that Eowyn pic. Eowyn Wormtongue Uruk-Hai

A week or two back, in a long thread on the movie forum, there was considerable discussion over the use of the terms Uruk vs. Uruk-hai in LOTR. A number of us contended that the terms have different meanings, while others said they were interchangeable. A number of quotes from the book were...
