What do we all know about orcs? The one thing I know is that they were elves once, but I wonder if there are any female orcs and could they have children? What do you think?

I heard that they were able to breed, so I guess there must have been females =\

Yep, there was indeed much mention of breeding, so one can only assume... still it's kinda strange to think of a female Orc.. I don't know why though, when I think about it.
I would tell you (in much detail) but my keyboard is clunky and I'd rather not wake the Eye...

Hmm ... it's disgusting how the Elves were tortured and mutilated at the beginning like that ...

Didnt the orcs come from torchered elves or elves that did bad?

Yep ... at the beginning of the First Age, Melkor captured a great many Elves and he tortured them and mutilated them until they became Orcs. He made the Orcs as ugly, foul and evil as the Elves were good and fair ...

I can't remember where exactly I've read this, but it is known that Azog, an orc in the Third Age, had a son, Bolg. So there somehow must be female orcs...

Yeah there must be females ... if not they wouldn't have been able to last from the First Age to the Third Age.

Maybe Female ors are similar to the Dwarves. They look and sound similar that they think that the women are the men. So all are war-like, but some are female.

Are orcs also immortals? *just popped up in my mind and now I must know!*

Hmm .. good question... though I would assume that they are immortal, because the Elves that they were originated from were immortal.

All I know they were elves but torchered by Sauron and become orcs. I never heard about the female orcs. unlike dwarf women, they never existed this is what my friend told me from Sil

Well, I dont think they are immortal. I say this because they lost their immortality when they killed for pleasure and were corupted. So they lost the light of the Valar and in return, lost their immortality.
