So the description of Uruk-Hai given in the films (I can't remember if it was also in the books), Orcs bred with Goblins, is a load of piffle, because if Orc is the Hobbit word for Goblin, then breeding orcs with goblins is in effect encouraging the one and only species to breed amongst themselves, which they would anyway?
So perhaps the Uruk-Hai were the result of a natural mutation? Now that is a question worth discussing. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
