Grishnákh

An Orc captain from the ashen wastes of Mordor, Grishnákh was part of a group of Orc hunters under Sauron's dominion that joined Uglúk's Uruk-hai troop on the plains of Rohan. Grishnákh's plans for the troops' captives, Merry and Pippin, were in conflict with Uglúk's orders to deliver them to Saruman. Believing they might have the treasure his lord sought, he tried to steal the Hobbits away from the Uruk-hai in order to take what they had for himself; eventually leading to his death by a Rider's spear.

In the Lord of the Rings movies, Grishnakh is killed by Treebeard, who steps on him.

In Sierra Entertainment's War of the Ring real-time strategy game, he is a playable hero, and an orc commander of Sauron. In the game has the Torch and Explosives abilities.
