*hugs poor, lost topic*

Soo... this was about orcs, wasn't it 🙄
And the question whether Tolkien invented them

Fact ~ he gave them their names, but evil creatures have existed in legends thousands of years before Tolkien's orcs did (yes I say Tolkien's orcs as Melkor's are probably a lot older 😛)
😬

*tries to cheer topic up*

He didnt give them their names, orc was a word for an evil creature LONG before tolkiens parents, parents parents parents parents ever though 'hey, lets have a baby'

whip

bag bag

Was it....?

"Orc" sounds like somebody ate a fish that has already been dead too long 😕
