The ancient art of Plastic Surgery
It seems that all replies to this thread had been in unison as to the contributions of Saruman to the ecological wonder of middle-earth: The Orc, the One race which eats, drinks and makes merry (reproduces) like the Children of Illuvator, and yet breeds more after the fashion of rabbits. (10k population in < 60 years)
Actually, I was beginning to suspect that normal Elves and Men were fooled by Dr. Morgoth into participating in Middle Earth's Extreme Makeover. This means that various "races" of orcs were actually Elves, Men, Hobbits or Dwarves recently captured by the dark powers to be operated on. No sense wasting time on training and breeding, right?
To digress somewhat, Olog-hais seemed way more resilient than their distant cement-skinned cousins. And yet, the term Olog-hai sounded more in tune with Uruk-hai. Distant relations?
