I personally never pictured the Uruk Hai to be what PJ made them, some monster born in a gigantic placenta from what looks like the earth under Orthanc.<P>I always thought that Saruman's Uruks were considered to be half man and half Orc, a created half breed from the rapings of the women of Rohan by the Orcs.<P>I am not sure where I got that idea but it seems to stick in my mind.<P>Does anyone else know more about this?
