Orcs, Goblins, & Uruk-hai - What's the Difference? | Tolkien Explained

Today we cover all the different variations of orc and what makes them unique - Uruk-hai, Goblin-men, Half-orcs, Snaga, Snifflers, and any other type of orc you can think of! We will also cover how each type of orc was created - from the very first orcs corrupted by Melkor, to the Uruk-hai of Sauron and Saruman, to the half-orcs and goblin-men created at Isengard. *Hit subscribe - and the bell - so you never miss a video from Nerd of the Rings!* Nerd of the Rings on PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/NerdoftheRings -------------- All content falls under fair use: any copying of copyrighted material done for a limited and “transformative” purpose, such as to comment upon, criticize, or parody a copyrighted work.
