In adaptations[]

Peter Jackson's The Hobbit Trilogy[]

Ragash is present at the Battle of Azanulbizar. He serves Azog the Defiler as a Warg-rider and scout in his band of Orcs. Ragash hunts Thorin and Company under Yazneg and Fimbul, and witnesses Azog`s feeding Yazneg to the Wargs. Azog, Fimbul and Ragash later chase the Dwarves to a small cliff edge, forcing them to climb into the trees. However, the wizard, Gandalf, lights some pinecones on fire and throws them at the wargs, burning a few of them. When Bilbo saves Thorin, Ragash and Fimbul attack him. However, the Eagles attack the Orcs and throw many of the Warg-riders off the cliff. Ragash, along with Fimbul and Azog, escape.

Instead of going to hunt the Dwarf company, Ragash remains at Dol Guldur and witnesses the arrival of his fellow Guldur Orcs to help Sauron. He later informs Azog that the Orc armies are ready to attack the Lonely Mountain at dawn, and that the attack will be sudden and swift. Ragash fights in the Battle of Five Armies, leading the attack on Dale. He dies sometime during the battle, but it remains unknown who killed him or how he died.
