<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Gothmog is one of the Nazgul, or an Orc, or something else, is never explained in the book). <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>YEs something like that is in the book. We know he cant be one of the Naz becuase Khamul is the only one given. J and C tolkein say that the other nazgul are unkown and that Khamul is the obnly ever written about. So, by that deduction, Gothmog was and orc or uruk named after the lord of balrogs. Much like grond was named after the "Hammer of the Underworld"<P>But me, being jaded, cynical, evil, and filled with blood lust found him to be awsome.
