There are few tales more frightening in all of Eriador than those of the Orcs and Goblins that strike from the shadows against the Free Peoples of Middle-earth. Many believe these are simply tales of fancy, spun by storytellers to keep children safely within their homes at night for fear of being gobbled up in the darkness.
Orcs are one of the most recognized enemies from The Lord of the Rings. Rest assured, you will not only encounter lots of Orcs in the untamed areas of Middle-earth, you will face many different types of them!
Orc-kind runs the gamut from the lowly goblins to the mighty Uruk-hai and from level 1 through end game bosses. Among the creatures of Orc-kind are Orcs, goblins (both generally weak against Light), half-orcs (generally weak against Beleriand, and Uruks.
For a current listing of all Orc-kind creatures, see Genus:Orc-kind.
