Lugdush by Steve Otis
Lugdush was an Orc, and apparently an Uruk, in the service of Saruman. He was a member of Uglúk's raiding band that captured Merry and Pippin beneath Amon Hen, and drove them westwards to the eaves of Fangorn Forest. It was there that Lugdush met his end, at the hands of Éomer's Rohirrim.[1]
Etymology
It's possible that his name contains the Orcish element lug- ("fortress, lock-up, prison"[2]) seen in the name for the Dark Tower, Lugburz.[3]
