Orcobal was an Orc of Angband that was slain by Tuor in Gondolin during the First Age.[1]
Biography[]
During the Fall of Gondolin, Orcobal was the champion of the Orcs that assailed the Gondothlim alongside the Balrogs at the coming of the Drakes. Orcobal was ultimately slain by Ecthelion of the Fountain, who, after killing two goblin captains, "cleft the head of Orcobal their chiefest champion to his teeth", before the gates of Gondolin. The slaying of Orcobal was part of the famous onslaught which is said to have been the greatest killing of Orcs ever conducted by the Eldar.[2]
Etymology[]
Orcobal is clearly Gnomish, though it is not glossed.
