Maybe we’re just talking about the movies though, given the image. Even if not, the orc image here could be uruk hai if they wanted to be more specific of the larger orc breed. So image is weird either way

A reader may also note with interest that Tolkien used only the word goblin in the Hobbit and only the word orc in LotR, which probably doesn’t help the confusion.
