Adar as the Elf Who Became the First Orc, Created by Morgoth He is one of the elves
Glamhoth was a Sindarin word for the Orcs that meant 'din-horde'. Gorgûn was the name that the wild men of the Drúadan Forest used for Orcs in their own language. Yrch was the term used by Haldir and his brothers, who were Elves of Lothlórien.
In-fiction origins
The origin(s) of orcs were explained two different ways (i.e., inconsistently) by Tolkien: the orcs were either East Elves (Avari) enslaved, tortured, and bred by Morgoth (as Melkor became known), or, "perhaps.. Avari [(a race of elves)]..
The Truth of the Uruk-hai
The Uruk-hai are simple crossbreeds of human and orc, equivalent to a corrupted version of half-elves. There are two subspecies: Morgul Uruk-hai, bred by Morgoth and Sauron, similar to orcs but much larger and stronger.
In The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, Azog is the Orc chieftain of Moria, and is called The Defiler or The Pale Orc.
The third episode of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power introduced audiences to the season's Big Bad: Adar (Joseph Mawle), a menacing elven figure who leads the orcs of the Southlands.
The Nazgûl, as servants of Sauron, feared the power of Ulmo, and believed that some of his power might still flow through the waters of Middle-earth, hence why they avoided it as much as they could.
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.
In the movies Uruk-hai are described as a crossbreed between "Orcs and Goblin-men". This is a reference to the creatures mentioned by Gamling in the novel that blend the traits of Orcs and Men. These Uruks are sent after the Fellowship, and their initial captain is Lurtz, a movie-only character.
Azog was an Orc-chieftain of Moria, who started the War of the Dwarves and Orcs when he slew Thrór. He was himself slain by Dáin II Ironfoot in the Battle of Azanulbizar, and was succeeded by his son Bolg.
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.
Orcs have elven blood, but are usually considered to be both Beastfolk and Goblin-ken.
Uruk-hai are much larger and beefier than Orcs, who are often more goblin-like. The Orcs were the soldiers of Sauron and the dark forces for a long time, but were one of the weaker forces of evil.
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.”
"Goblins" are what J.R.R. Tolkien called the Orcs of the Misty Mountains whom Thorin and Company encountered in The Hobbit.
What is this? In it, she talks a lot about how Legolas, although he is Sindar (High-Elven), identifies as a Wood-Elf, to the point of acting more like a subject of Thranduil than his son.
I think most of the objections have been against Arondir (Ismael Cruz Córdova), who is the Black elf. He's one of the immortal elves of Tolkien's legendarium. The legendarium is, broadly speaking, the lore behind the universe explored in Tolkien's books.
Elrond Half-elven is a fictional character in J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth legendarium. Both of his parents, Eärendil and Elwing, were half-elven, having both Men and Elves as ancestors.
At this point Arwen has already given up her immortality, but now she grants the grace of the Eldar to Frodo, not giving him immortality since he is not one of the elves, but instead granting him a home in the undying lands when he does pass.
The Nazgul's howls -- a supremely unsettling screech that announced the arrival of Sauron's chief minions -- actually came from a simple trick. The Ringwraiths constituted Sauron's first real move against the remainder of Middle-earth, sent into the Shire to hunt down the One Ring in Frodo Baggins's care.
Firstly, he would not be much use in battle. And second, he wanted the Ring as much as Sauron did. Therefore, the Ring and Sauron would've not seen the point in making Gollum like the Nazgûl when he could serve their interests as he was.
The movies decided to make Sauron the puppet master behind all events, from ordering Azog to kill the dwarves to attacking the armies of good with massive hoards of orcs in The Battle of the Five Armies.
