Uruk-Hai (monster/race)

[J-H]

Inspired by the orc music that plays while the Uruk-hai are running all-day in a cross-country pursuit getting stuck in my head...


Uruk-Hai
The uruk-hai are a type of orc magically enhanced long ago by breeding in some human, and possibly elven or dwarven blood. They were bred and selected for increased strength and endurance. The changes also removed some of normal orcs deficiencies as fighters, making them cannier and deadlier opponents. Whoever was responsible for their creation no longer walks the world as their master. However, Uruk-hai are often found acting in the service of a more powerful evil being (especially one with considerable arcane power).
