Mauhúr was an Orc in the service of Saruman.
History
Mauhúr was sent to reinforce Uglúk's troop as they returned to Isengard with Merry and Pippin. He found them surrounded by Éomer's Rohirrim at the edge of Fangorn Forest, from which he led his Orcs in an attack. This attack was a failure: the Rohirrim were able to defeat the Orcs, even with Mauhúr's reinforcements.[1] Though Mauhúr's own fate is not known with certainty, it seems that he fell with his soldiers at the hands of the Rohirrim.
Portrayal in adaptations

2002: The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers:
- Mauhúr is portrayed as an Uruk-hai instead of an Orc, and is played by Robbie Magasiva and voiced by Andy Serkis. His remarks on the lack of food enticed Snaga, who proposed eating the captives. Mauhúr was among the Uruks who devoured Snaga's corpse after the latter was beheaded for his limited discipline.
