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.
Wow, I was really off the mark with what I said. I'm just getting back from seeing the extended edition at my local theater, and I must've misremembered what Saruman was saying- it was the Orcs that were corrupted elves, and the Uruk-hai were not imprisoned in the earth, those mudpits really were breeding vats or something, Gandalf was recounting "crossbreeding Orcs and Goblins" to create Sauron's army of Uruk-hai.
