Uruk-hai are a new step in the evolutionary development of orcs. They are taller and larger than humans, long fangs protrude from their jaws, and their deep-set, malevolent eyes frequently go bloodshot from fits of battle rage. Uruk-hai boast impressive strength and endurance, and run faster than humans.

From childhood they handle swords and spears with skill, and their thick hide turns aside piercing blows. They have little grasp of magic and prefer warrior classes. Not being especially quick-witted, uruk-hai were once easily swayed by powerful sorcerers and carried out their orders. To this day uruk-hai are easily subjected to mental influence, and their affinity with Evil makes them vulnerable to holy attacks. Heavy and bony, uruk-hai sink like stones in water.
