'Nothing can even compete with Uruk-Hai': 10+ Perfectly Foul and Terrifying Orc Designs From the Lord of the Rings

You and your hairy-footed best mate just wandered into a mystical forest at night. After a long day of trudging across green hills, outsmarting local Nazgûl, and steadying your cast iron pans on your rucksack, alls you want is a nice fireside stew and some po-ta-toes for dinner–but the local orcs think otherwise. As you reach for your sword, now glowing blue in an ominous warning, you can't help but wonder which variety of man-flesh-eating, slimy, deformed, pull-outta-the-mud beast will be attacking your camp tonight. 

Orcs, goblins, boggarts, bugans, and uruk-hai could be the evil dudes you fight, but which race of orc is the most disgusting and terrible? Lord of the Rings fans band together to discuss the brutalest of beasts found in the pits of Middle Earth, raising armies like Saruman and picking the corner of LOTR's greatest enemies. 

Scroll for the top ten goblins and ghouls that have haunted our nightmares since 2001.
