Intelligence of Orcs

[Tar-Alcarin]

This would be like taking Socrates and Aristotle and comparing them to uneducated people in a third world country. It is not a fair judgement.

Amen to that.(not aman Finwe [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] )

Orcs probably would have semi-bright bulbs in the bunch. Shagrat and Gorgab seemed pretty smart in the books, except the elvish warrior thing with sam. But orcs dont need to be smart to survive, thy ust need to kill, eat, and die to make suaron happy. Melkor probably made them intentionally not smart so that they could never question his authority.

That being said, was there ever an Orc Rebelion?
