Sep 28, 2014 at 22:35 | comment | added | La-comadreja | Remember that Tolkien said maybe, not yes, to the question of whether Orcs have Elf ancestry. Furthermore, Orcs are classified as a fundamentally distinct race from the elves, regardless of their ancestry. I.e., bad elves are not orcs per se, and good orcs are not elves per se. The answers here describe Elves who perform evil deeds, yet are not Orcs. Conversely, Ugluk, an Orc, can be brave and loyal (see my analysis in the question about whether there are good orcs) yet is clearly not an Elf-e.g., he throws away Merry and Pippin's Numenorean blades "as if they burned him." | |

Sep 23, 2014 at 18:06 | comment | added | Himarm | their are alot less "bad" elves because of the fact that the elves know for a fact their are "gods" and they know where their gods live, and they all get to go live with them should they so choose. So to be a bad elf you have to knowingly turn away from that (and they live forever). humans on the other hand arnt immortal, dont have living relatives that live in the land of the gods, and probably have a less clear understanding of what their afterlife will consist of, so they choose to live as they want. | |

Sep 23, 2014 at 17:50 | comment | added | SJuan76 | In the Silmarillon there were the grey elves, who were somewhat neutral, and some of them did bad things (one betrayed a hidden city because he was craving an elf women). Too busy to search now. And don't forget that orcs descend from elves. | |
