<P> In Peter Jackson 's The Lord of the Rings : The Return of the King film , Gothmog is portrayed by Lawrence Makoare ( who also portrays the Witch - king of Angmar and Lurtz ) and voiced by Craig Parker who played Haldir of Lorien . Here Gothmog 's role is significantly expanded to the point that he is one of the film 's main antagonists along with the Witch - king , Sauron , Denethor , and Gollum . Gothmog is interpreted as a deformed Orc general with a stunted arm . He prides himself on self - reliance ( brushing off a subordinate 's offer of help to dismount ) and leads courageously from the front - line . Gothmog is a cunning tactician who possesses a cruel sense of humour , evident when he gives orders for trebuchets to release the `` prisoners '' , and when he impales the dying Madril with a spear . According to Peter Jackson , Gothmog 's affliction is an elephantiasis - type disease ; he dubbed him `` the Elephant Man Orc '' . Jackson asked the Weta Workshop designers to make Gothmog look diseased . Knowing his penchant for outrageous creatures , they piled elephantiasis growths onto a model in such a way that they hoped even he would find it excessive . However , to their surprise , Jackson deemed it to be ' just about right ' , thus giving Gothmog his `` Elephant Man '' - type appearance . Jackson 's adaptation of Gothmog and Makoare 's makeup have been called `` the most extreme representation '' of the `` visual horror '' that is created by the general appearance of orcs in the film series . The extended edition of the film shows his death at the hands of Aragorn and Gimli as he moves to attack the wounded Éowyn . </P>
