Orcs Orcs were bred in the mockery of elves. They are natural born warriors and know nothing but fighting. Orcs made up a vast majority of the Dark Lords army. Most are 3-5 feet in height. The Uruk-Hai were bred by Sauron to be more intelligent than the original orcs. On average they stand 5-6 feet in height. With the exception of the Uruk-Hai orcs fear and hate the sunlight.         Orcs in the movies.   About Tolkien - The Books - The Movies - Races - Message Board - Home This site was created as a tribute to J.R.R.
