Really, though? Thought both Orcs and Goblins could breed.
Orcs and Goblins may refer to the same thing, maybe I'm not deep enough in the lore but my understanding is that they breed through the vats. Could only apply to the Uruks though
Thats just the movies (mud pits). First Orcs were corrupted elves that then proceeded to breed like everything else.
I thought the mud pits were them EXCAVATING Uruks (the corrupted elves) imprisoned within the earth. There was that whole one-sided dialogue with Saruman feeding that Uruk's thirst for vengeance.
Nah, that was just how Jackson decided to portray Saruman's creation of the Uruk-hais. As I recall, they were actually just a crossbred race of orks imbued with some of his power.
They can and not just with one another, Morgoth was able to breed especially degenerate Men with his orcs to produce half-orcs/'goblin-men' in the First Age and Saruman did it again (using Dunlendings for the human half) in the Third Age. They served as elite troops & spies, IIRC one reported on the Hobbits' movements at Bree.
I didn't know he was in San Francisco.
