Only in the movie :(

Books & movie the same. Ent power + human blood + dark magic + orc = uruk hai

I can't argue with such scolar.
"Books & movie the same." - I'll engrave this citation with gold in my heart.

Uruk-Hai are created by Saruman with dark magic and the power of the sacred Ent water, mixing them with the advantages of the human nature.

This is the explanation that you were looking. :ss13ok:

lol, oh you spoon fed movie kids. The uruk-hai were originally created by sauron, not saruman.

The same for this explanation. I have a Tolkien's own dictionary of terms that costed a lot of money to my brother over 15 years ago. It says what we can read in the books and its almost the same than we see in the movies nowadays.

Different answers depending on your source material. (book or movie, for example)

The simplest way to explain it is Uruk's are bigger, stronger, faster Orcs.

There is much more to it than that, but that is the simplest explaination.

Uruks are not Uruk hai, an Uruk is just an normal Orc:

http://shadowofmordor.wikia.com/wiki/Uruk

At the bottom in Trivia it clearly states "Uruk is the Black Speech word for Orc."

I'de like to CNP this from the other thread

引用自 BeanyUndead：

The Uruk-hai, described as very large black orcs of great strength, first appeared from Mordor about the year 2475 of the Third Age, when they briefly took Ithilien and the city of Osgiliath. These original Uruks were of Sauron's breeding, but Saruman bred his own. Saruman's are shown to have resistance to sunlight and an upright stature, though whether or not these features are unique to his Uruks is open to question. All Uruks were larger and stronger than other breeds of orc and consequently looked down upon and often bullied them.

In The Two Towers, Aragorn observes that the fallen Uruk-hai at Amon Hen had different gear than he had seen before: swords and bows like those of men, and shields and helmets set with the white hand and S-rune of Saruman.Treebeard speculates that Saruman had crossbred Orcs and Men.These orcs, who named themselves "the fighting Uruk-hai", made up a large part of Saruman's army, together with the Dunlendings and other human enemies of Rohan. They were faster, stronger, and larger than normal orcs, and could travel during the day without being weakened, although they still did not like it. Saruman fed them with human flesh. Saruman's Uruk-hai fought against the Rohirrim at the Battles of the Fords of Isen, at the first of which King Théoden's son Théodred was killed, and at the Battle of the Hornburg, where the vast majority of the Uruks were defeated and destroyed.

The chapter "The Uruk-hai" details some differences among the orcs. The orc party included orcs from Mordor led by Grishnákh, Saruman's "fighting Uruk-hai" from Isengard led by Uglúk, and "northerners", orcs from Moria. It was the dead Uruks from Isengard whom Aragorn found remarkable.

The Uruk-hai of Isengard were the tallest of these orcs, and had large hands and thick, straight legs, while the orcs of Mordor are described as bow-legged. Although the Isengarders still did not like the light of the sun, they could withstand it, unlike other orcs. The orcs of Mordor were all long-armed and crook-legged, not as tall as the Isengarders but larger and more powerful than the orcs from Moria. The orcs of Moria in turn could see better in the dark than the Isengarders. Grishnákh from Mordor is described as very broad but shorter than Uglúk. In The Return of the King, the orcs Shagrat and Gorbag are identified as Uruk-hai of Mordor and are described in terms similar to Grishnákh and his troops.

The Lord of the Rings describes several differences in the equipment and heraldry of Uruks and other orcs. Uruks and other orcs in the service of Barad-dûr used the symbol of the red Eye of Sauron. The orcs of Mordor referred to Sauron as the Great Eye, and the Red Eye was painted on their shields. In contrast, Aragorn comments that the Uruk-hai of Saruman were not equipped in the manner of other orcs at all: instead of curved scimitars, they used short broad-bladed swords; and they wore iron helms marked with the Elf-rune Certh which had the value of "S". It was clear the "S" stood for Saruman, considering Sauron's general desire not to have his name written or spoken. Saruman's Uruks used black shields emblazoned with a white hand, a symbol of Saruman.

The book speculates that various hybrids of Orcs and Men, possibly including the Uruk-hai, are under Saruman's command, including in the Shire. Some of these called "half-orcs" in The Two Towers, were sallow-skinned, squint-eyed and as tall as men. Merry describes them as "horrible: man-high, but with goblin-faces", thus implicitly contrasting them with Orcs and Saruman's Uruk-hai. An account of the first Battle of the Fords of Isen in Unfinished Tales apparently treats Uruk-hai and "orc-men" separately.

It's quite good. Hope it helps.

Uruk-Hai were besieging Osgiliath in 2475 T.A.

Saruman went rogue in 2953 T.A.

You read your dictionary really bad and spent a lot of money in vain.

Look up there nooby, Saruman was the one that created these ones that became the ultimate of its race and the one that OP's was asking about.

引用自 Sukha：

Orc=Uruk, Uruk Hai=Halfbreed Orc with Human.

There are no Uruk Hai's in this game.

uruk-hai were created by saruman to create his own army to fight against sauron, much like Talion's plan in Shadow of mordor

引用自 BeanyUndead：

In The Return of the King, the orcs Shagrat and Gorbag are identified as Uruk-hai of Mordor and are described in terms similar to Grishnákh and his troops.

This said, the Uruk-hai were existing in Mordor, and they existed there for at least 500 years before Saruman went rogue and created his own breed.

You must feel bad because you ashame yourself and dishonor your family.
