Unlike Dwarves and Hobbits, Orcs wouldn't be bred with any sort of awesome-looking spiky Orcish Marriage Ring. Instead, the breeding process would be closer to breeding animals. Man-flesh would have to be fed to both an Orc and an Orc woman nearby, and they'd both initiate the process.
Mordor Orcs refer to the Orcs that Sauron bred for his own army. 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. Tolkien confirmed that female Orcs did exist.
They can. It is specifically stated that Saruman bred orcs with humans to create beings not afraid of sunlight. Frodo saw one of these in Bree, and others were seen at the battle of Helm's Deep.
The orcs "multiplied" like Elves and Men, meaning that they reproduced sexually. Tolkien stated in a letter dated 21 October 1963 to a Mrs. Munsby that "there must have been orc-women". In The Fall of Gondolin Morgoth made them of slime by sorcery, "bred from the heats and slimes of the earth".
Orcs have fast gestation periods, lasting only 5 - 6 months from conception to birth, and it's rare for them to have only one child, where it is common for them to have Sextuplets, or Octuplets at once.
What Happened to the Orcs After the Ring was Destroyed and the War of the Ring Had Ended?
How did Elves become orcs?
It is also rumoured that some of the Elves were being captured by a "Rider" if they strayed too far, and it was believed by the Eldar that these unfortunate Elves were brought to Utumno, where they were cruelly tortured and twisted into Orcs.
The Uruk-hai might have been the result of crossbreeding Orcs and Men. There were other creatures in Saruman's armies, and under his command in the Shire, that appear to have been hybrids. "Half-orcs" were as tall as Men and are never described simply as Orcs, as the Uruk-hai frequently are.
No female Orc character is ever depicted in the Lord of the Rings, and no information about orcs' society and upbringing (apart from it being violent and cruel)is given, but there are indeed female orcs and for what we know they might be hardly distinguishable from males (like it happens for dwarves) and even be apt to ...
Despite hobbits being more closely related to humans than humans are to elves (Tolkien 1967, Prologue), there is no mention of successful matings between hobbits and humans, or between hobbits and any of the other hominids of Middle-Earth.
Around TA 2990, he started making his own Orcs and eventually crossbreeding them with Men. After Saruman's nominal fealty to Sauron in TA 3000, his Uruks joined Orcs of the Misty Mountains in attacks upon eastern Rohan.
Basically, the Uruk-hai were faster, smarter, stronger, and larger than orcs (though they were still shorter than men.) And while orcs will generally refuse to travel during the day, and would be severely weakened if they had too, the Uruk-hai could do this with few problems.
One theory suggests that the Nazgul's fear of water could be attributed to Ulmo, the Vala of water, who resided in every body of water in Middle-earth and may have punished any evil creatures who entered his domain.
Jackson's depiction of the Uruks being spawned from the mud came from Tolkien's old description of orcs being "bred from the heats and slimes of the earth." It is said they were a result of cross-breeding orcs and "Goblin-men", instead of Orcs and Men. In Tolkien's writings "Goblin" is just another term for orc.
Uruk-hai are the offspring of orcs and men. Would torturing the offspring of elves and men for enough generations create Uruk-hai? Torturing/corrupting/distorting/etc.
In Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings, the Uruk-hai are shown as being released from a kind of membrane in the mud deep under Isengard (special commentary on the DVD edition explained that they were trying to base the scene on an early description of Tolkien's that Orcs "worm their way out of the ground like maggots ...
Unlike Dwarves and Hobbits, Orcs wouldn't be bred with any sort of awesome-looking spiky Orcish Marriage Ring. Instead, the breeding process would be closer to breeding animals. Man-flesh would have to be fed to both an Orc and an Orc woman nearby, and they'd both initiate the process.
Females are likely used entirely as breeding stock as horrible as it sounds. Tolkien confirmed female orcs in letters. No real debate except with those only familiar with the movie. Your on track about them not showing up in the books due to the orcs military nature.
Half-orc is a term used to describe the offspring of an orc or half-orc parent and a parent of any other species. Since the beginning of the First War, orcs have interbred with a number of species: mostly humans, but half-ogres and half-draenei are not unheard of.
In the first film of Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings film trilogy, it is at the Fords of this river that Arwen, bearing a wounded Frodo on her horse, confronts the Nine Ringwraiths and eventually summons the flood that consumes them. She does so by chanting to the river in the Quenya tongue.
Azog is also a very large and extremely powerful Orc, as tall if not taller than even the most advanced Uruk-hai, and far more bulky. His skin is bone-white, compared to other Orcs whose skin color generally ranges from sickly green to a dark brown or lighter peachy colours.
Because each Age counts its years from scratch, and because the First Age lasted 587 years and the Second 3441, Elrond must be approximately 6437 years old in The Hobbit. Because of his advanced age, Elrond's role in the history of Middle-earth can scarcely be overstated.
Returning to the idea that Morgoth could not create new creatures with independent wills, it is probable that Orcs had a "mixed origin", using corrupted Elves and Men. Morgoth would have among them corrupted minor spirits, which took terrible and similar bodily forms in order to dominate.
Legolas was portrayed by Orlando Bloom. In the "official movie guide" for The Lord of the Rings, a birthdate for Legolas is set to 87 of the Third Age. This would make him 2931 years old at the time of the War of the Ring.
