Description
Rarest of the orc-breeds in the Third Age and beyond, these foul creatures were mainly used by Morgoth in the First Age to attack the ports of Elves and Men. Unfortunately for them, their prowess in water in no way matched that of the Elves at the time, and the sea-orcs were routed on several occasions. Due to this and the breaking of the world, the sea-orcs have twice declined under their service to Sauron to the brink of extinction, but over the years their skill has improved as has their value when they work in concert with the famous pirates of Harondor -- The Corsairs of Umbar.
This breed has deep blue and aquamarine skin that has been softened over the ages from continuous exposure to water. Their additional protection no longer comes from their skin, but from the ever-present coating of barnacles all over their bodies.
