<P> The chapter `` The Uruk - hai '' details some differences among the orcs . The raiding party included orcs from Mordor led by Grishnákh , Saruman 's `` fighting Uruk - hai '' from Isengard led by Uglúk , and `` northerners '' , orcs from Moria . It was the dead Uruks from Isengard whom Aragorn found remarkable . The Uruk - hai of Isengard were the tallest of these orcs , and had large hands and thick legs . The orcs of Mordor were all long - armed and crook - legged , not as tall as the Isengarders but larger and more powerful than the orcs from Moria . The orcs of Moria in turn could see better in the dark than the Isengarders . Grishnákh from Mordor is described as `` short '' but `` very broad '' . In The Return of the King the orcs Shagrat and Gorbag are identified as Uruks of Mordor . </P>
