Uruks and Uruk-hai are different.<P>Yes, I know it's the same word, but that's because bred Orks are hardly going to call themselves "Uruk 2.0" are they! <P>Uruks are basically toughter Orks...sun still gets to them, but not as bad I'm willling to guess, but only because they're tough enough to put up with it.<P>Uruk-hai on the other hand are Half-Ork, Half-Men bred by Saruman, and can withstand the sun fine, even though they don't like it, and they're taller and stronger and generally better in every way than normal orks. Uruk 2.0 indeed!<P>Don't worry about not remembering Gothmog - he only appears in 1 sentance in RotK, where it says that after the WItch King's death Gothmog, leiuetnant of Morgul, calls up reserve troops for the fight out of Osgiliath.
