Description
Crafted and bred to serve the Dark Lord Sauron, Uruk-hai are a mix of orc, goblin, and human and arguably the deadliest breed of orc. Despite not being as hardy as their raiding and pillaging brethren, Uruk-hai are far more dexterous and intelligent, and are usually obedient to whoever is commanding them, and not nearly as chaotic as orcs. Their bodies are far more human-like than orcs', and they lack the prominent tusks that orcs have. Despite being far more disciplined, Uruks are still much like orcs in their love of killing and respect for strength and strength alone.
Uruk Captains. Uruk Captains are Uruks who have clawed their way up the ranks and to a position of power. As such, Uruk Captains are hardier, deadlier, and stronger than their brethren. Any Uruk can become a captain, meaning that Uruk Captains are incredibly diverse. This stat block should not be used to determine every Uruk Captain, rather to provide an example of what a captain's stat block should be. They can be any type of Uruk, warrior, archer, hunter, savage, or defender. This stat block represents a defender marauder tank captain.
