Orcs were the foot soldiers of Sauron. They were cruel, vicious and sadistic creatures hateful of everything good. Gruesome in appearance, they were generally short in stature with small eyes, fangs and matted hair. They lived underground, making their homes in the caves and chambers in the underground fortress of Melkor. Their natures made them excellent fighters; they were brutal and unforgiving. They were instrumental in the rise of Sauron but were later defeated when the armies of Men and Elves rose to fight against Mordor and recaptured Middle Earth.
Orcs are portrayed in the Lord of the Rings films as having heights between 4’-5’ (1.22-1.52 m) based on a comparative analysis of film frames.
