  • Gothmog is a fictional character from J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth legendarium. He is featured in The Return of the King, the third volume of the fantasy novel The Lord of the Rings as originally printed. He served in Sauron's army during the War of the Ring. He was the lieutenant of Minas Morgul, second-in-command to the Witch-king of Angmar, lord of the nine Nazgûl (Ringwraiths). He commanded the forces of Morgul during the Battle of the Pelennor Fields after the Witch-king was slain by Éowyn and Merry. This is the only reference to Gothmog in The Lord of the Rings, and he appears in precisely one sentence. His fate is not stated, although it is strongly implied that he and almost all of the servants of Sauron that fought before the gates of Minas Tirith were killed. Tolkien writes nothing else about Gothmog — not even what race of beings he belonged to. Gothmog shares his name with one of Tolkien's earlier characters, Gothmog Lord of Balrogs, who is featured in The Silmarillion.
