| "Sharku" is a concept which has only appeared in an adaptation of the works of J.R.R. Tolkien. |
Sharku was an Orc invented for The Two Towers. He is played by Jed Brophy.
In the movie, Sharku is one of the Warg-riders who ambush the column of Rohirrim woman and children retreating from Edoras to the safety of Helm's Deep. Théoden and his guard, with the help of Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli, fend off the attack. However, during the battle Aragorn gets tangled in the harness of Sharku's Warg and both the beast and the ranger fall off a cliff. Sharku, mortally wounded, survives just long enough to gloat about Aragorn's (supposed) death to Legolas and Gimli.
