<P> In the 1977 SPI board game War of the Ring, Gothmog is described as the second-most powerful Nazgûl and chief lieutenant of Minas Morgul . </P> <P> In Middle - earth Collectible Card Game by Iron Crown Enterprises Gothmog is depicted as a half - troll, wielding a flail . </P> <P> In Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King film, Gothmog is portrayed by Lawrence Makoare (who also portrays the Witch - king of Angmar and Lurtz) and voiced by Craig Parker who played Haldir of Lorien . Here Gothmog's role is significantly expanded to the point that he is one of the film's main antagonists along with the Witch - king, Sauron, Denethor, and Gollum . Gothmog is interpreted as a deformed Orc general with a stunted arm . He prides himself on self - reliance (brushing off a subordinate's offer of help to dismount) and leads courageously from the front - line . Gothmog is a cunning tactician who possesses a cruel sense of humour, evident when he gives orders for trebuchets to release the "prisoners", and when he impales the dying Madril with a spear . According to Peter Jackson, Gothmog's affliction is an elephantiasis - type disease; he dubbed him "the Elephant Man Orc". Jackson asked the Weta Workshop designers to make Gothmog look diseased . Knowing his penchant for outrageous creatures, they piled elephantiasis growths onto a model in such a way that they hoped even he would find it excessive . However, to their surprise, Jackson deemed it to be' just about right', thus giving Gothmog his "Elephant Man" - type appearance . Jackson's adaptation of Gothmog and Makoare's makeup have been called "the most extreme representation" of the "visual horror" that is created by the general appearance of orcs in the film series . The extended edition of the film shows his death at the hands of Aragorn and Gimli as he moves to attack the wounded Éowyn . </P> <P> As revealed in the director's commentary for The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies, Gothmog was supposed to make a cameo appearance as a juvenile orc and one of Azog's lieutenants during the titular battle . A design for him was even approved . However, due to time restrictions any scenes that he would have appeared in were not filmed . </P>
