#Uruk Hai

[beardedmrbean]

An army bred for a singular purpose,

[saurons-pr-department]

The White Hand of Saruman wasn't actually any kind of insignia, he was just putting suncream on the Uruk Hai and forgot to rub it all in sometimes. This is why they can go out in the sun

You know when there's a minor villain in a franchise but they're really cool and you're more interested in them? yeah.

I like them alot, just saying.

Was rewatching Two Towers (extended edition obvs) and when the Battle of Helms Deep came up, I absolutely refuse to believe that when Theoden ordained that the elderly and young boys would also pulled into fighting the Uruk-Hai, that the mother, wives, sisters, and daughters that heard this didn't immediately start undressing and forcing their loved ones to swap clothes with them because if you think for one second I am about to let my 14 year old brother or my ill grandfather (who probably can't even LIFT a sword) go fight for our freedom when I can, then Theoden King better step up because I have a few things to say

Playing Middle-Earth: Shadow of War again. Forgot what a riot this game is. Only one hour into playing, I’ve quickly remembered its undying appeal.

*When you’re hiding in some bushes on a stealth mission and an orc Captain bum rushes you out of the blue, loudly proclaiming how worthless you are.

*Going around, collecting orcs like you’d collect Pokémon.

*Orcs with Blood Brother bonds. Lay hands on one of them and his Bestie will show up screeching for your guts. Like, how dare you touch his boyfriend?

*The horny ones that call you “sweetie” 🤣 or the abusive ones that call you Man-Swine or Man-Filth.

*All the drunks by grog barrels, laughing and giggling as if they don’t know there’s a gravewalking madman running around dominating unsuspecting Orcs.

*🏆 Had an orc tell me he was going to “turn me into paste and spread me all over his body” while in the heat of battle. I was like, whoa, my man, this will not stand.

*also, Ratbag.

the white hand of Saruman except stamped on both my ass cheeks

[dancingbluelight]

I have legitimately forgotten what number this post is so I'm gonna say this is part 🌳 of LOTR memes that made me struggle to keep quiet in class

have a fantastic day <33

[gobproblem]

orc!Talion surrendering, for some reason. What foe has bested him? Why kneel instead of fight? I drew this like a year and a half ago so I have no idea! I haven’t posted in forever, so I was simply looking through my files for something half-way decent to put out.

Bonus grumpy orc!Talion under the cut 

[holykhepri]

Hi 👋 I just wanted to say I never see much lotr orc art anywhere, so that made me really happy lol. Anyways you have a new follower now, I hope you’re having a lovely day <3

naww thank you!! they are charming bastards after all. it's nice to have you here! :D

[disintegratingballerina]

me info dumping abt lotr to my friends who literally don't know what im talking abt:

[vildo]

The feminine urge to not know either pain or death and only taste man-flesh

[elvenmoans]

At first Talion let the orc captains give their little speaches out of sheer confusion, but then he realized it's culturally important to them and let's him get a breather anyways

Random HCs for Shadow of War Uruks

Feral

Mostly composed of archers or hunters

None put high value into reading/writing or math comprehension

Their hand-to-hand combat is modeled after ghuls

Most eat their meat raw

More than some are startled by their reflections (reactions may vary, as will the proceeding damage to both self and others/property)

Suffer from extreme separation anxiety, whether it be with their beast, blood brothers or their crews

Weak connection to the Dark Lord

Warmonger

Mostly composed of defenders or berserkers

Most don't put high value into reading/writing comprehension, but many care for basic maths

Many have a natural disposition to be leaders

More than some are revered tacticians

Can and will paint themselves in the blood of their enemies, but not freaks about it like the Slaughter tribe

Honour through combat and duels to the death

Memorialized fallen comrades and even well fought enemies through oral traditions, such as song or story or theater

Moderate connection to the Dark Lord

Mystic

Mostly composed of warriors and hunters

Reading/writing and math comprehension not highly valued, though some do eventually learn to read/write for record purposes

The weirdos of Mordor (not to be confused with the same brand of weird as the Terror or Slaughter tribes)

The morgul blades they wield are made from the obsidian of Mount Doom (both as a literal and metaphorical connection to the Dark Lord)

The tribe with the closest ties to both the Dark Lord and the Witch King

Strongest ties to the Dark Lord

Machine

Mostly composed of defenders and warriors

All learn at least basic math, with the best receiving advanced math comprehension

They do most of the problem solving amongst their kind god help them all

"Sometimes the only correct answer is to bash it with a hammer." -some uruk, probably

"Work smart, not hard." -probably the same uruk

Surprisingly good at problem solving, but only when it suits them (see the statements quoted above)

Understand the best the Dark Lord's intentions for Middle Earth

Moderate connection to the Dark Lord

Dark

Mostly composed of archers and warriors

Most are naturally ambidextrous

All learn basic reading/writing, with the best of them learning advance languages/ reading/writing comprehension

They are the dictionary definition of the word "paranoid"

As needed as their services are, they are despised and viewed rightly with great suspicion

Strong connection to the Dark Lord

Marauder

Mostly composed of archers and warriors

All learn some basic reading/writing and math skills, with the best receiving extra training in both fields

Gift of the gab

They both compose speeches (for warchiefs and/or overlords) and plays, and even perform for outposts/strongholds/forts (for a price, of course)

The backbone of the Mordor economy

Piss off one group, most of the others will refuse to do further business

Weak to moderate connection to the Dark Lord

Terror

Mostly composed of berserkers and hunters

Not well liked due to their... uh, love of giving and receiving pain

The best at "acquiring" information from enemies of Mordor (and even allies when it's called for)

Occasionally called to be beast tamers for particularly unruly beasts

Or slaves

Or new recruits

Kinda like enforcers, except they mostly enforce whatever it is whoever is paying them (or what the Dark Lord) wants

Moderate to strong connection to the Dark Lord

Slaughter

Mostly composed of berserkers and hunters

More shunned than the Terror or Outlaw tribes (more than any other tribe, really)

Completely bloodthirsty and driven by it

Literally the grossest of all the tribes

Cannibalism is a tricky subject. All uruk tribes practice a sort of death rite through honourable "cannibalism" (recycling bodies in the vats) but actual cannibalism is seen as a last resort. The Slaughter tribe don't care, and they are a blight on Mordor for this very reason

Either weak or strong connection to the Dark Lord

Outlaw

Far more varied that any other tribe in terms of the fighters they have

Absolute wild cards and mad lads

They take *almost all tribes (except Slaughter cause ew)

Split wildly between being fashion oriented and function oriented (always one or the other, rarely, if ever, both)

They teach each other the fighting practices they were born into, so they are unmatched in the surprise category on the battlefield

Will spit in the face of God and shake their fists at the heavens

Weakest connection to the Dark Lord
