Snaga was the name of an Orc in Grishnákh's company.

History


A scout in the band of Orcs that meet Ugluk's group and their captives Meriadoc Brandybuck and Peregrin Took in The Two Towers. Killed by Ugluk and cannibalized by the other Uruk-hai. Snaga was an Orc brought by Grishnákh to help him gain control of Merry and Pippin and bring them to Mordor. Hunger for fresh meat eventually overcame his limited discipline. He eventually tried to get "Just a mouthful" of the two captured hobbits by sneaking in behind Uglúk, who was making sure the captives got to Isengard unharmed and unspoiled. Uglúk ended up cutting Snaga's head off, therefore providing his company with "fresh meat."

Films
"Why can't we have some meats? ... What about them? They're fresh."
