Gothmog (Lieutenant of Morgul)

Gothmog is Sauron's top general. It is unclear what species he truly belonged to, with possibilities of being Orc, Haradrim, Easterling or even Undead. Some confusion also arose because Gothmog is a name carried by the lord of Balrogs; showing that he was probobly meant to be a Ring Wraith. However, In Peter Jackson's film Return of the King, Gothmog was portrayed as a hideously deformed orc, and was castellan of Minas Morgul. He served as the top orc commander at the siege of Minas Tirith, ordering the use of catapults and siege towers as well as the Grond siege engine. He was caught up in the retreat when the riders of Rohan fell on the orc army.

In the extended edition, Gothmog is seen attempting to kill Éowyn, but his arm is removed by Aragorn and he is slain by Gimli son of Gloin.

Gothmog is also the name of one of the playable characters in the CRPG Dungeon Master
