HistoryEdit

At some undermined time while with a band of fellow orcs including Shagrat, Ufthak got lost in the tunnels and was caught by Shelob, poisoned and hung up in a corner. When the others found him he was still alive and awake but did nothing to help him, out of fear of what would happen if they interfered with her work.

EtymologyEdit

Ufthak in the Black Speech meant "Ugly Faced".
