Hiisii (la."devil,goblin,malevolent spirit") or Kul-Uruk were creatures of the Far North, also known as Ice-Orcs or Snow-Orcs. They were descendants of Morgoth´s Goblins and Hobgoblins of the first Age who were ordered to guard his cold northern Realm and were altered by their master to withstand his deadly cold. The Hiisiis were divided into two castes, the lesser Ice-Orcs, who descended from the smaller Gongs, and the greater Ice-Orcs, who descended from the greater Hobgoblins.
