maybe; orcs were actually tortured Elves who fled from the others and who Melkor detained and used in his evil purposes. So it is possible.
But I think that Melkor captured them but he didnt use them in wars and other. Women wasnt such powerful and strong as man. Eowyn was first who showed that this is not true.
It is hard to talk about Middle Earth and Tolkiens worlds because it is big mystery.

Well... Orcs are basically fallen elves... Therefore, considering that there are female Elvenkind, there must be female Orcs, too... Otherwise the race of Orcs wouldn't have existed for long... Or they're all hermaphrodites... Lol, I'm actually only joking about that part, though. XDDDD

Well those are uruk-hai. In the movie, Saruman explains to Lurtz that orcs were elves and mens tortured and mutated.

no there arent any female orcs.And most really dont pay attention,Tolkien didnt make any.If you read the books of the Lord of the Rings you would know that all the orcs are men.It didnt say that there are any female orcs.And i have a class at school that studies about history and books,etc,so i learned about the Lord of the Rings.

Aline1102 said:
I don't think so. In the books, I'm certain the orcs are only men. Tolkien saw the war as a male thing (like many other things in fact) and I don't think he would have liked a woman orc to play a part in the story. The only known exception to Tolkien's views about battles was Eowyn: she's the only female to take part in the war.

Probably, though no one can be sure as Tolkien never menthioned them is his books.

Yes, there are. The reason they're not mentioned is that they would make the male orcs look bad by doing everything better than them.

you know im not sure why either because sounds wierd for azog to be the only male to have a son also none of the other orcs had sons plus him and azog dosent even look alike .

AMA2034496 said:
No there are no female orcs in any of the Lord of the rings movies or books even the video games based off the movies don't have any female orcs there was no reason for them the whole point of the movies and books was about a ring and an evil elf or man named sauron that was trying to rule middle earth with the help of his orcs and other evil creatures that were drawn to evil. Even though J.K. Rolling siad there was it dosent tell you if they were mentioned plus how come Peter Jackson never showed a female orc worrior an any of his films plus the only fake female worrior that he created was taurial who was female elf guard, so like I said there are no female orcs .
