The Two Towers, "The Choices of Master Samwise"

LEGO Shagrat

Shagrat was a large, long-armed orc, Captain of the Tower of Cirith Ungol, and the commander of one of the two orc patrols that found Frodo Baggins after he had been poisoned by Shelob. Later his Black Uruk tower garrison fought over possession of Frodo's Mithril mail-shirt with the orc patrol from Minas Morgul lead by Gorbag and sent up the Stair of Cirith Ungol to investigate matters. Shagrat interpreted his orders literally: all captives to be searched, but left unharmed and they and their possessions taken to Barad-dûr. Gorbag coveted Frodo's pretty dwarven mithril mail shirt for himself. A fight soon started. Gorbag wounded Shagrat in the arm with a knife, but was eventually killed by Shagrat. Their respective followers began fighting also, and slaughtered each other wholesale over the next several hours.

Later Sam, carrying the One Ring, infiltrated the Tower of Cirith Ungol and soon realized that the garrison was effectively wiped out. Unfortunately, Shagrat managed to get past him carrying Frodo's armor and other personal items and escaped to take them to Lugbúrz (Barad-dûr) as ordered.

It is possible that Shagrat was killed by Sauron or the authorities at Barad-dûr for the events that occurred at the Tower of Cirith Ungol. Alternatively, he may have been rewarded for his loyalty by being allowed to march to the Black Gate alongside his fellow orcs and Uruks as one of their captains. If so, it's unknown whether he was killed in the battle or the subsequent destruction of Mordor following Sauron's downfall, or if he survived and fled.

Portrayal in Adaptations

The Lord of the Rings film trilogy

"The scum tried to knife me. KILL HIM!"
-Shagrat to the other Orcs, in the movie

In the film version of The Return of the King, Shagrat is a Black Uruk. Instead of him, it is Gorbag who in the cave explains Shelob's eating habits, while Shagrat takes the Mithril shirt, saying it is his (while Gorbag intended to take it to Sauron), and in the resulting fight, Shagrat escapes with it. (Later in the film the Mithril shirt appears again at the Black Gates, in the possession of the Mouth of Sauron.)

Given Shagrat's adaptational disloyalty, he would almost certainly have been punished for going against Gorbag's authority, which was aligned with the Dark Tower's interests.

Video Games

In the video game of The Return of the King, Shagrat appears in the level of Cirith Ungol. After Sam kills Gorbag, Shagrat steals mithril and runs out of Cirith Ungol.

In The Lord of the Rings: The Third Age (GBA), he appears as a secret villain who can be unlocked after the player finishes the evil campaign in hard level.

In LEGO The Lord of the Rings: The Video Game, he is a playable character. In the main campaign, he fights Shelob, alongside Sam (this was done to make the level co-op friendly). Like all Orcs, he has super strength, which is used to pull heavy handles.
