Tuor of Gondolin has just left Hobbiton.
Shagrat is one of them. It's actually a tricky question,
on several levels. I considered counting the Watchers,
but wasn't sure how to classify them, so they're not
counted here. But there are either one, two, or more then
two to add. The more then two (maybes) are the orcs
that shot arrows killing two of Shagrat's lads. But since
they aren't mentioned again, and Sam and Frodo got out
without being shot, I suppose you could reasonably
assume they died after unloosing
the arrows? I've also come across a reference to "two"
survivors, and if you consider the question there
is another individual who presumably fits the criteria.

What characters based in Cirith
Ungol were still alive (other then hobbits) after
Sam and Frodo left Cirith Ungol?
