The Uruk Hai

[Kavrangoz]

We know that Saruman made the Uruk Hai.But did he make it from
soil,like in the film.I think that Uruk Hai is a generation created from orcs
and humans,or sth. else.But Peter Jakson showed that they are created from soil.Is he right.Or does he have a right to change the book???Do not try to understand them,nor try to explain thyself.

I have always thought that he mixed the races of Orcs and the Dunland men who lived near Isengard. I'm not sure where or if it is in the books, but that's what I've always thought.

Orcs were originally created by Sauron from mutilated and tortured elves. Saurumon is somewhat of a scientist in some regards and designs machines and breeds that Uru -kai from orcs and goblin men. How on earth he got Goblin men I don't know.
