Orcs

In Lord of the Rings, the heroes face thousands of Orcs. What's an Orc? It a goblin-like creature Tolkien created for the world of Middle-Earth. There are many different types of Orcs in Lord of the Rings. They're terrifying creatures and every type of Orc had to be designed.
A lot of the Orcs were designed by Warren Mahy, a designer at Weta Workshop in New Zealand. He got pigeonholed into designing baddies for Lord of the Rings because he was so good at it. His design work for the movies was great! They look so evil and its great because it gives the heroes something to want to destroy, something they will want to stop because they're so evil and terrible
