Orcs are mythological creatures that appear in folk tales and fantasy fiction tales as wild beasts with human-like postures, sometimes like giants, their skin is usually green, its face resembles a pig, an ape or a monster with long fangs, its fierce nature and savage. In the fantasy story of The Lord of The Ring
Orc is one of the races that inhabit the middle Earth. Orcs are identified as malignant and evil races. Orcs are enemies of the Elves and humans. They love to eat meat and sometimes they become a cannibal nation.
The word "orc" or "ork" is associated with a demon, a demon, an ogre, an evil race, or a monster. Demons or demons are often likened to "Orcs". In stories, films and games, Orcs are usually painted in green, his face unlike humans with two long fangs. Usually the size is larger or the size of a human, and its more vicious.
It turns out the origin of this orc is one of the troublesome for Tolkien, many times changing to be in sync with the whole concept of Middle-earth that he has. In the earliest manuscripts containing their existence "The Fall of Gondolin" written before the 1920s and published in History of Middle-earth Vol II: The Book of Lost Tales 2
orc was created Melkor with the earth's stomach and stone lenders (this might inspire Peter Jackson to illustrate the occurrence of uruk-hai in Isengard). They are described as stone-hearted, ugly, never smiling, if they laugh in a voice like metal clashing.
This idea is constantly changing, to the concept that Christopher Tolkien eventually later revealed in Silmarillion, that according to the wise figures in Eressëa, orcs were the elves captured and locked up in the castle of Melkor, and cruelly tortured and ultimately changed in appearance and character, so mockery / parody of Eru's elves.
But after the manuscript, it seems that Tolkien is still constantly changing his mind about the origin of orcs. Scriptures that solely examine this are contained in the History of Middle-earth Vol. X: Morgoth's Ring. The problem is if these orcs are from elves, they remain immortal and even if they die, their souls will face Mandos as well.
And if this manipulated elf has offspring, the offspring will be elves, because the tortures and mutilations experienced by his parents are not genetic. The point is Melkor did not create his own orcs. It just destroys, twists existing creatures, it could be an elf, but it may also be animals, humans, even maia.
Orcs multiply and multiply rapidly. Elves are not like that (except Fëanor); so maybe even if there are elves who initially manipulated Melkor, they are not so raw materials orc. Maybe just enslaved for his knowledge? Are they who make sure orc mothers do not miscarry in the middle of the road and their children grow up, not eaten by his father.
In Silmarillion, the paragraph that explains the occurrence of orcs begins with a statement that according to those who are wise in Erëssea. That means the process of orc from elf glasses. Probably just their theory, maybe speculation. I myself feel many creatures that are categorized bad guys we may not know exactly the origin.
