minus-squaredeltri16@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up100arrow-down1·1 year agoSorry to be nitpicky but the Lord of the Rings picture of an orc is actually an Uruk-hai and the picture of a goblin is an orc
minus-squareVladkar@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up77·1 year agoUm, ackshually, Tolkien makes no distinction between orcs and goblins, and Uruk-hai just means “Orc-folk” in Black Speech.
minus-squarecrossal@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·1 year agoMaybe we’re just talking about the movies though, given the image. Even if not, the orc image here could be uruk hai if they wanted to be more specific of the larger orc breed. So image is weird either way
