Hey Caradhras! In the books, tolkien never really said whether the orcs were male or female. I do recall Gandalf talking about them being bred though for an army. Keep in mind, they are elves that were mutated into the service of the dark lord! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
