Yes, female orcs do exist in Middle-earth. “There must have been orc-women,” Tolkien wrote. “But in stories that seldom, if ever, see the Orcs except as soldiers of armies in the service of the evil lords, we naturally would not learn much about their lives. Not much was known.”
Nonetheless, many fans aren't aware that J.R.R. Tolkien himself confirmed that female orcs exist. In a 1963 letter, Tolkien reportedly wrote: “There must have been orc-women.
It just seems that orcs all seemed to be exclusively male. Tolkien ultimately rejected the idea of corrupted elves, but an alternative was never fully set in place.
They were conceived of by Morgoth during the Years of the Trees, serving him and later his successor, Sauron, in their quest to dominate Middle-earth. Before Oromë first found the Elves at Cuiviénen, Melkor kidnapped some of them and cruelly deformed them, twisting them into the first Orcs.
There were two types of kinds; the bigger ones were the Uruks, the smaller ones were called Snaga. Although Tolkien used terms like Goblins, Hobgoblins, Goblin men, Orcs and Uruks to anyone from the races of the Orcs.
They are a corrupted race of elves, either bred that way by Morgoth, or turned savage in that manner, according to the Silmarillion.
He is a white-skinned Orc, known as the Pale Orc or Azog the Defiler.
The first Dark Lord Melkor took hostage some Elves from Cuiviénen. He tortured them, beat them, and broke their bodies into the first deformed and twisted beings known as Orcs.
The life span of an orc is relatively short by Azerothian standards. Though elves can live to be thousands of years old, the orcs are lucky if they even get close to 100 years of age.
In the movie, Saruman says that the first Dark Lord bred the Orcs from captured Elves. He does not explain how Elves could become so corrupted as to turn into Orcs.
Half-orcs, colloquially known as half-tusks in Purskul and Zehoarastria of Amn, were humanoids born of both human and orc ancestry by a multitude of means. Having the combined physical power of their orcish ancestors with the agility of their human ones, half-orcs were formidable individuals.
Yes, female orcs do exist in Middle-earth. In a letter to one, Mrs Munby, JRR Tolkien wrote that female orcs do exist but that we've not seen them because they don't fight in Sauron's armies.
Adult male orcs generally stood between 59 and 71 inches tall, and adult females averaged two inches shorter. Males weighed in anywhere between 136 and 190 pounds, while females weighed between 96 and 150 pounds.
2007-: The Lord of the Rings Online:
Half-orcs were categorized as one of the varieties of Orc-kind, along with Orcs, Goblins, Hobgoblins and Uruks. Half-orc Bandits were found in the Lone-lands. They were affiliated with Saruman and could be found in almost every region he had influence in.
The orcs reproduce “"after the manner of the Children of Iluvatar”, which is to say they breed using sex. The Uruk Hai in the movies come from mud pits, but in the books, Treebeard at least realizes Orcs and Humans have got to be having sex somehow, and he is disgusted by the idea: “That would be a black evil!”
The Elf-queen Galadriel, Lady of Lothlórien, is the most powerful female character in Middle-earth during the Third Age. Tolkien portrays her as all-seeing, able to read people's thoughts.
Some people (including me) have discussed whether Orcs might have raped and cross-bred with Elf-women. In fact Tolkien himself wrote at one stage that the Orcs raped Elf-women but he did not retain this explicit language throughout his later writings.
Orcs seem to have lifespans based on how famous they are. Azog lived to be at least 319[1], but died through combat at the Battle of the Five Armies. No definite age is given, only how long he ruled Moria. Bolg lived to be at least 150[2] years old.
Age: Half-orcs mature a little faster than humans, reaching adulthood around age 14. They age noticeably faster and rarely live longer than 75 years.
Some went mad and killed themselves, others fled and likely formed their own communities. Last time Sauron was defeated they still held together bands that were strong enough to kill Isildur, so they can operate well enough independently.
Due to his corrupting influence, he swayed many of the Maiar, lesser divine beings including Sauron himself, to his cause. After the Earth was created, Melkor was the first to learn of the awakening of the Elves, and before the other Valar can find them, he kidnaps and cruelly tortures some, twisting them into orcs.
Aragorn is not half Elf, although he is a descendant of Elros, who is half Elf (and the brother of Elrond, the half-Elf who raised him), which explains why Aragorn's life span is unusually long.
Orcs congregate into tribes, which are lead by a Vor, or chieftain, who leads the tribe, and is responsible for ensuring that the shoth, or kin, the members of their tribe, are kept safe and provided for, as well as leading them in battle against their enemies.
A group of orcs is called a horde. A groupof dwarves is called a clan. A group of elves is called target practice.
