First Appearance: Blade II#2 (June, 2002)

History:
(Blade II#2) - Two Uukog squads were called by Federico Valencia to his nightclub in New York to take out Blade. Blade was able to hit some of them with silver bullets, but they were too many and so he fled. The Uukog followed Blade into the utility corridor where they were attacked and taken apart by the Tryk Rowkis. None of the Uukog survived the battle.
(Blade II#4 (fb) - BTS) - Rowkis told the vampires where to find Fofo.
(Blade II#3) - Two Uukog kidnapped Fofo and brought him in a coffin to one of Valencia's kitchens.
(Blade II#3 (fb) ) - When Fofo didn't talk they were ordered to toss him into the river, but the Uukog forgot to close the coffin and Fofo survived.
(Blade II#3) - The Uukog followed the transmitter signal in Fofo's clothes and knocked out Blade when he left the hospital through the back. They tossed him into a garbage container and drove him with a dumpster away.
(Blade II#4 (fb) - BTS) - The Uukog brought Blade to Valencia. They took off Blade's clothes and all his weapons including his underwear sprayed with garlic perfume.
(Blade II#4) - The squad leader showed Valencia everything he took from Blade and Valencia couldn't believe that Blade only had a gun with a single clip of bullets with him. When Blade broke free he shot the squad leader in the head and used Valencia as a shield against the other two Uukog's bullets. Then Blade tossed Valencia at the other two Uukog and finished them off with silver bullets.

Blade II was the title published under the MAX imprint. So, don't buy it for your kids.
I'm pretty sure that more Uukog are around in the Marvel Universe. But who wants to use them?
In Blade III#12 a prophecy was fulfilled that brought back all vampires that ever died. This most likely included the Uukog as well. We'll have to wait if they resurface.
