Re: The Spawning of Orcs
After reading the Sillmarillion, I think that they are corrupted Elves. And there population grows by procreation.
I think the reason why Tolkien never mentioned female or children Orcs because it was not necessary to the story. Im sure Ugluk would be wondering how safe his kids were when he was being chased by the white-skins. <img src=smile.gif ALT="
