'''Shagrat''' was a large, long-armed [[orc]], Captain of the Tower of [[Cirith Ungol]], and one of the orcs who found [[Frodo Baggins]] after he had been poisoned by [[Shelob]]. Later his [[Black Uruk]] tower garrison fought with an orc patrol from [[Minas Morgul]] over possession of Frodo's [[Mithril]] [[Bilbo's Mithril Shirt|mail-shirt]]. Shagrat interpreted his orders literally: all captives to be searched, but left unharmed and they and their possessions taken to [[Barad-dûr]]. [[Gorbag]], leader of a patrol sent up the Stair of [[Cirith Ungol]] to investigate matters, coveted Frodo's pretty [[mithril]] [[dwarf]]-[[Bilbo's Mithril Shirt|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 [[Lugbúrtz]] as ordered.

"I have my orders. And it's more than my belly's worth, or yours, to break 'em. Any trespasser found by the guard is to be held at the tower. Prisoner is to be stripped. Full description of every article, garment, weapon, letter, ring, or trinket is to be sent to Lugbúrz at once, and to Lugbúrz only.

The Two Towers, "The Choices of Master Samwise"

Shagrat was a large, long-armed Black Uruk, Captain of the Tower of Cirith Ungol. He commanded one of two orc patrols that found Frodo Baggins after he had been poisoned by Shelob.

Biography

In the year TA 3019, Shagrat and his company, along with Gorbag's company from Minas Morgul, discovered the unconscious Frodo Baggins following the hobbit's encounter with Shelob, and took him back to the Tower of Cirith Ungol for searching.[1] Later his Black Uruk tower garrison fought over possession of Frodo's mithril mail shirt with Gorbag's company, 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 mail shirt for himself, and soon a fight over the shirt began. 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 over the next several hours.[2]

Later, Samwise Gamgee, carrying the One Ring, infiltrated the Tower of Cirith Ungol and soon realized that the garrison was effectively wiped out. Shagrat, however, managed to get past him carrying Frodo's armor and other personal items, escaping and taking them to Lugbúrz (Barad-dûr) as ordered.[2]

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 is unknown whether he was killed in the battle or the subsequent destruction of Mordor following Sauron's downfall, or if he survived and fled.

"The scum tried to knife me. Kill him!!"
-Shagrat to the other Orcs in the third film

In Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, Shagrat is of the same appearance as Uruk-hai in prior films. 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 executed by the authorities for going against Gorbag's authority, which was aligned with the Dark Tower's interests, and that these authorities brought the Mithril shirt to the Mouth of Sauron.
