Revision as of 13:14, 3 August 2012

The Black Orcs or Morannon-Orcs are greater Orcs different from the even larger and stronger Uruk-Hai.

Morork

Aarlok?

speculations

Their origin is unknown but they may be identical with the Warrior-Breed or Fighting-Orcs, the Hobgoblins or the larger Orc-Race from Barad-Dûr who fought in the second Age on the Gladden fields.

The Morannon-Orcs could also be identified with the Uruk-lesser-Orc halfbreeds known as "Gusmuras" in MERP.

Note:In some other sources the above mentioned Orcs are considered to belong to different breeds, some of them lesser Orcs others Uruk-Hai and Orc Trackers.It may be possible that the Morannon-Orcs or black Orcs are not a distinctive breed on their own but rather an elite-troop of selected orc-Warriors.
