Orcs are goblins. They are hideous, evil, cruel, stupid, bloodthirsty, and merciless. They are as tall as humans and they have their own language, orcish. Orcs were bred for war. The orc army was called the Uruk - hai.

No Orcs are NOT goblins and no, Orcs are NOT Uruk-Hai. Orcs originally come from Lord of the Rings. Tolkien described Orcs as ugly, fanged humanoids. They are the servants of the dark lord Sauron. Their origin is up to debate as Tolkien has hinted at a couple things, 1. Orcs were originally made from stone and slime combined with the sorcery of Morgoth, 2. Orcs were actually elves, captured, tortured, bent, both mind and body corrupted.

Now goblins are mentioned in The Hobbit as Orc like people who live in the mountains.

Uruk-Hai are actually breeds of breeds of Orcs, I think they were a mix of Orc and Orc Men. These were taller, stronger, smarter and serve both sauruman and sauron.

hopes that helps
