: : Unfinished Tales P. 126 talks of Orks of a new fell breed. Is
: : this the first Uruk Hai, and did Sauron then not breed them,
: : merely take up again his master's breed and re-refine them?: The passage doesn't say they were a new breed, but THE LORD OF THE RINGS states specifically that the Uruks first appeared in the late Third Age. True, but the passage reeks of change, what were these fell orks then? Boldog? Boldog-Ork cross-breeds (which is my guess, and also where I would infer the Uruks to come from)?
