How do I get a dead Uruk to come back
A previously long-since killed uruk's body is lying in the "Sauron's Army" menu, and has been there for a while. Never moving or going away. I know that this means (since his head isn't on a pike) that he should be coming back, but he's not. He hasn't popped in while I'm running around, doing a mission, or even when I've been hit to near death on my knee (sometimes they appear when you're about to die).
So, anybody have a clue?
(Funnily enough, this Uruk has the title of Shaman, although this is now my second case of this happening.)
Best Answer
The system of Shadow of Mordor isn't very clear on that but basically the short answer is:
You can't force an Uruk to return
If his head is on a pike, the Uruk is dead and won't return.
If the Uruk is just laying on the ground there's a chance he'll come back. It isn't 100% sure he will come back and sometimes the system takes a while to renew fallen Uruks with promoted ones or new ones.
You have to wait and see if he comes back. If he does let us know in the comments.

If you see one of your orc captains go down in battle, all you have to do is get near them and use the Raise Dead ability, and they'll pop back to life. If one dies and you're not close enough, don't worry. You can go into the Army screen and highlight your dead orc captain and bring them back to life.How do you revive a dead captain?
Players can bring them back by using Raise Dead near them in battle or by visiting the Army menu and bringing them back from there. The big catch here is that resurrected captains come back five levels lower than they were, can no longer advance in levels, and are vulnerable to flames.Do orc captains keep coming back?
If they are just lying on the ground on the Nemesis board then they are not really dead but still have a chance to return, once you decapitate them their place on the board will be replaced with a grave, that way you know they dead for good.

Answer 2
For 1 and only 1 Uruk Captain your answer is: Board the Boat
If you are in the 2nd half of the game (have defeated The Hammer), I've noticed that the Nemesis system keeps at least 1 "not dead yet" captain "in reserve". I believe this is the captain who will eventually control the crowd of uruks you encounter prior to facing The Tower. The game seems to be able to change its mind about which captain is kept in reserve, but the reserve doesn't seem to go away until The Tower is defeated.
