How did Saruman create so many Uruk-hai?
Although this never happens in the book, in the movies Saruman’s Uruk-hai emerged from pods. This appears to be a sneaky way Peter Jackson paid homage to Tolkien’s implied origin for Orcs – that they were bred by the first Dark Lord (Morgoth) from captured Elves through manipulation by his power.

In the movies Uruk-hai are described as a crossbreed between Orcs and “goblin-men”.

These Uruks are sent after the Fellowship, and their leader is Lurtz, a movie-only character.
Are Uruk-hai half human?

How do Uruk-hai reproduce?
The orcs reproduce “”after the manner of the Children of Iluvatar”, which is to say they breed using sex. The Uruk Hai in the movies come from mud pits, but in the books, Treebeard at least realizes Orcs and Humans have got to be having sex somehow, and he is disgusted by the idea: “That would be a black evil!”

How are Uruk Hai different from orcs?

How did the Orcs become Uruk-hai?
In the movie, Saruman says that the first Dark Lord bred the Orcs from captured Elves. He does not explain how Elves could become so corrupted as to turn into Orcs.
