Jackson's depiction of the Uruks being spawned from the mud came from Tolkien's old description of orcs being "bred from the heats and slimes of the earth." It is said they were a result of cross-breeding orcs and "Goblin-men", instead of Orcs and Men. In Tolkien's writings "Goblin" is just another term for orc.
Yeah and the OP is talking about URUK. Not plain Orc. It might be the first but it's not the last.
Saruman interbreed humans and orcs.
Whilst never explicitly stated, it is implied that the Uruks are made via crossbreeding of Orc and Human.
Important to know that Orcs and Uruks are two seperate entities.
Yep. That's Orcs. Not Uruks.
He didn't really mix them with animals.... He tortured them. "Melkor enslaved some of the elves and cruelly tortured them, turning them into Orcs."
Uruk-hai were first created by Sauron late in the Third Age. In the War of the Ring, the Uruk-hai made up a large part of Saruman's Army, together with the Dunlendings, man-enemies of Rohan. There are suggestions that the Uruk-hai of Isengard were the result of crossbreeding orcs and men. Certainly, there were other creatures in Saruman's armies, and under his command in the Shire, that appear to have been hybrids. "Half-orcs" were as tall as Men and are never described simply as orcs, as the Uruk-hai frequently are. It has also been suggested that the Uruk-hai are the cross-breeds of goblins and half-orcs. Saruman's army of Uruk-hai fought against King Théoden of Rohan and his people at Helm's Deep.
