Standing over the common Orcs are the Uruk-Hai (sing. Uruk; Mor. "Orc Race"). They are the result of breeding programmes instituted by the Dark Lord after his return c.1000 TA. After a millenium and a half of breeding for strength, intelligence and ruthlessness, the better Orc was finally born.
Uruks hold their lesser bretheren in contempt, seeing the ill-disciplined rabbled as good for nothing but cannon fodder and, occasionally, rations. They do not fear the sun, they do not blanch at the name of Elbereth, and they are possessed of an iron discipline that makes a phalanx of Uruks worth many times their number in Orc rabble. The Fighting Uruk-Hai are extremely proud of their race.
The eyesight of Uruks is as good as a man's under sun or stars. With little light, they can still see well out to 50'; in complete darkness, they can still see out to 10'.
