"'They would,' grunted Gorbag. 'We'll see. But anyway, if it does go well, there should be a lot more room. What d'you say? — if we get a chance, you and me'll slip off and set up somewhere on our own with a few trusty lads, somewhere where there's good loot nice and handy, and no big bosses.'
'Ah!' said Shagrat. 'Like old times.'"
The Two Towers, "The Choices of Master Samwise"

Recruit the strong orcs of Cirith-Ungol to serve Mordor. They serve as a scout unit costing only 200 with the bonus of having two heroes in one. Gorbag has poison damage and is 20% faster while Shagrat has 30% more armor and causes a slight splash with his attack. The player can switch between both orcs with a minor cool-down after every change. Initially you recruit Gorbag, but after the cool-down of the ability you will be able to switch to Shagrat.

Upgrades[]

No Upgrades
This hero has no upgrades. This means that this hero can not gain any sort of permanent boost from upgrades found in either its palantir or from other units/heroes. If this is not the case, fill in the section following the format of other pages.


Strategy[]

This hero serves as a scout. He cannot easily attack creeps but his Greed ability allows player to gain an economic boost early on. Paired with the starting battalions he can become deadly as his poison blade slowly winds down enemy units. Later on Shagrat can be used to place sentries on settlements, and with Compulsive Cooperation you basically double this hero's effectiveness. The level 10 orc summon is very versatile, allowing you to answer a number of enemies depending on whether you are using Shagrat or Gorbag. The only major weakness: he will be torn down in 3 hits by most heroes. There is also a change in stats if you change forms: Shagrat has more health and more damage, whereas Gorbag has a poison weapon and better abilities.
