[LOTR] So are orcs naturally evil or just constantly manipulated?

Are there any records of Orks working with us good guys?

They are naturally bad but not irredeemably so. Letter 153:

> [Orcs] would be Morgoth’s greatest Sins, abuses of his highest privilege, and would be creatures begotten of Sin, and naturally bad. (I nearly wrote ‘irredeemably bad’; but that would be going too far. Because by accepting or tolerating their making – necessary to their actual existence – even Orcs would become part of the World, which is God’s and ultimately good.)
