Which begs the question, if female elves were captured by Morgoth as well as males, what happened to them if there are no female orcs? Did their torture somehow change the nature of their fear (spirits that is)?

ugh, that's a well weird thought......but perhaps not, maybe there were female orcs at the beginning, but once they could be bred a-sexually(so what 2nd/3rd generation) only the males were bred....

Or maybe all orcs are atually girls...you know the line 'the female of the species is more deadly than the male' (is it deadly, or dangerous,....umm, it's something like that anyway!)

Maybe female orcs are like female dwarves: they tend to stick around the house and look a lot like the dudes...

Either that or they are so vicious and daunting the males never talk about them.

Imagine if Orc society had a core of females - so tough, so vicious, so domineering ... perhaps they're Sauron's personal guard ...

Whew! An AU bunny ... I almost never get visited by those little critters.

I could see the females having to be more vicious just because, if they are smaller or somehow seen as "weaker" *everybody* is going to try to make them their bitch.

haha. I've written female orcs, one in particular as a supporting character and she ..um... "... rose to great power through the strength of her sons during the time..."

Off Topic! I'm sorry Pip but we *must* get you an avie. Your forum nakedness is distracting. Do you have an avie that you would like to use and aren't sure how or don't know where to get one? Or perhaps you're a forum nudist Very Happy

Yes I will help you so you'll stop streaking lol I wouldn't

If you don't have an avie - I loaded a gazillion of them on my LJ for Eira and Lisser that I had just hanging around my photo bucket. My LJ is private but the two public posts are the avies. Just click on the highlighted link. You can tell me either in a PM or post an anonymous comment on my LJ which one you want unless you already have one that you like somewhere else.

I've written a female orc in one of my stories and after reading the names used for a bunch of goblins, orcs and Uruk-hai, came up with "Gorhk". Not quite sure how I decided to use that one, but there's at least one established somewhere. Smile

I don't think Tolkien wrote an exhaustive linguistic tradition for orcs (surprisingly, considering his habits elsewhere), so I suppose you're free to invent. Or even use something like
