SURELY the Dark Lord would have had to have used some sort of advanced hex to encourage the former to go anywhere near the latter; and was the original Uruk invented by Sauron, or did he just chance upon a stray cross-breed one day and think "that looks like good battle fodder, I think I'll go and probe it a bit and see if it multiplies..." ?
