- "I don't trust you little swine. You've no guts outside your own sties. But for us you'd all have run away. We are the fighting Uruk-hai! We slew the great warrior. We took the prisoners. We are the servants of Saruman the Wise, the White Hand: the Hand that gives us man's-flesh to eat. We came out of Isengard, and led you here, and we shall lead you back by the way we choose. I am Uglúk. I have spoken."
- —Uglúk, The Two Towers, "The Uruk-hai"
Ugluk was one of the captains of the Uruk-Hai. He was killed by Eomer in one-on-one combat after his Uruks were ambushed by Eomer's Riders of Rohan. The Uruks had been on their way to Isengard with their hobbit captives, Merry and Pippin.

Strategy[]
Ugluk is one of the two hero units of Isengard that go exceptionally well with your Uruk soldiers, and your scouts in particular. Ugluk also improves the survival chances of your uruk warriors by healing himself and others, and by increasing the armor rating of fellow uruks around him. He can also hold his own exceptionally well thanks to his tremendous health pool and self-regenerating abilities. It's recommended to pair Ugluk up with two or three battalions of Uruk Scouts, to give them better chances at staying alive, and also to help them regenerate health and move with bursts of great speed.
When he reaches level ten, Ugluk becomes more than a match for enemy forces even on his own, particularly when he summons a back-up force of soldiers and a hero-killing hero unit out of the blue. Whether it's to send aid to dwindling soldiers nearby, or to ambush people, Ugluk's level ten ability can be utilized to grand effect on the battlefield.
