| “ | Do you know how the Orcs first came into being? They were Elves once, taken by the dark powers. Tortured and mutilated… a ruined and terrible form of life. And now… perfected: my fighting Uruk-hai. | ” |
–Saruman in The Fellowship of the Ring (film) | ||
The Uruk-hai are Orcs crossed with Goblin-men by the wizard Saruman the White to make them stronger, larger, and more intelligent. They are also unaffected by sunlight.
They spawn in the Rohan Uruk Highlands at any time of day and in Rohan and Fangorn Wasteland at night. They can be hired from an Uruk-Hai Chieftain. They carry Uruk Scimitars and armour of Uruk Steel. There are also Uruk crossbowers and berserkers.
Weapons
The Uruk-hai have many weapons, including:
Behaviour
Uruk-hai will randomly wander around and attack good-aligned NPCs, and they especially hate the Rohirrim. When they do attack, they are very strong and do a lot of damage. They have stronger armour and greater health than Orcs as well.
The fighting Uruk-hai will sometimes, for no apparent reason, chase and kill rabbits. This can happen with all Orcs, and is intentional, and not a bug.
Uruk-hai may also spawn in groups near Uruk camps.
They are often very rude in their speech to those not strongly allied with them, much like their other Orc-brethren.
Drops
Uruks drop Orc bones, Uruk Steel, Orc draughts, and rotten flesh. They also may rarely drop a piece of their equipped armour or weapons and may drop a pouch that may contain all their armour, weapon (based on the class) and rotten flesh.
