The one thing people never really sell hard enough about LotR is that its principal arc is about the nerdy fat guy who's scared all the time and only came along to support his crush evolving into the actual badass action hero of the whole sagahttps://twitter.com/edsbs/status/1216526657277845506 …

Yeah, and Rankin-Bass Return of the King even has the line "Orcs! Old Bilbo called them goblins!" before making this big rad musical number out of that scene. So... again, what the hell?

But anyway Orcs apparently grow continuously through their life cycles, the way "primitive" life forms do (fish and reptiles and bugs), rather than going through adolescence and hitting a fixed adult size like we do

So the species range in size from nasty little "goblins" (called "snaga", "slave", in their own language) to the big scary "orcs" ("uruks") as they grow older Orc society is a Darwinian process where size connotes both age and ruthlessness, since most Orcs die young
