Morgul orcs were some of the bravest and lesser Orcs in all of Mordor, originating directly in Minas Morgul.

Their highest leader was the Witch-King, who led the Siege upon Minas Tirith. But at Cirith Ungol hundreds of them were killed by their own Mordor orc brethren over Frodo's Mithril shirt, including Gorbag, one of their leaders. Eventually Shagrat brought the Mouth of Sauron the shirt and told the authorities of Barad-dur that some rebel Morgul orcs were on the loose since some escaped the pass of the spider.

Even though Gothmog was the Witch-King's lieutenant, he was a

Morannon Orc. Other orcs called them Morgul rats, such as Shagrat.

Notable Morgul orcsEdit

• Gorbag was a Morgul captain from Minas Morgul at Cirith Ungol.
