Rank 2: Lurtz
- Subsidiary type: Uruk-hai
- Rank 8 in the Creature Ranking
Lurtz is not just any Uruk-hai. He is the first of his kind and served Saruman from the very beginning as the leader of his troops. In addition to his physical strength, he was also specifically trained for battle, making him an even more dangerous opponent.
After his training, he received command of about 100 Uruk-hai to bring Saruman the One Ring. He is best known for shooting Boromir with three arrows.
He then got into a fight with Aragorn, in which he notably demonstrated his enormous pain tolerance. A stab in the thigh seemed to hardly bother him. And even when Aragorn stabs him in the stomach, he merely drives it deeper in order to get closer to his opponent. Although he is ultimately defeated by Aragorn in battle, Lurtz is an extremely dangerous fighter and thus takes second place on this list.
Although the Uruk-hai did not appear in the books, he left a lasting impression on fans in the film.
