− | The '''Uruk-Hai, '''also called '''Black Uruks''', and rarely the '''Uruk-Murdur''', were the most ferocious and warlike breed of [[greater Orcs]]. The breed can be divided into two categories: The Uruk-Hai of [[Mordor]], the original, and possibly more “pure” variant bred by [[Sauron]] in 2475 TA for his wars against [[Ithilien]]. More infamous, however, was the improved breed of [[Uruk]] introduced by [[Saruman]] in the [[War of the Ring]], a particularly fell, swart-skinned breed related to Saruman’s [[Half-Orcs]]. While these breeds were both considered “Uruk-Hai,” it is debatable how different in origin and physical nature. Oftentimes, larger breeds of [[Fighting-Orcs]] were recorded as either relatives or predecessors of the true Uruk-Hai; for example, [[Great Goblin|Great Goblins]] and [[Ashdurbúk|Ashdurbúks]] as [[Azog]] and [[Bolg]] were often thought to have been ancestors of these early Kû-Uruks.[[File:Uruks.jpg|thumb|Uruk-Hai in LOTRO]] |

− | <nowiki> </nowiki>Alternatively, they could be the much worn-down descendants of Boldogs, having been bred with ordinary Orcs so many times that they were shadows of their ancestors. They could also be a combination of the two, being descended from both the [[Black Númenoreans|Númenoreans]] and Boldogs. In fact, considering how different the Uruk-hai of Isengard seem to be from the Uruk-hai of Mordor (one example being that the Uruk-hai of Isengard cannot see as well during daylight), it's possible that different Uruk-hai have different amounts of diverse ancestry, For example, the Isengard Uruk-hai are perhaps more human in ancestry, or at least ''less magically altered'' human ancestry (in contrast from Uruk-hai who are presumably descended from either magically altered humans, Boldogs, or both), which may suggest that Isengard Uruk-hai aren't in fact pure Uruk-hai, if there were even such a thing, and would count more as Dur-Edan half-Orcs. |
