Gor

Gor was a male roggwart whom Mordor General The Mouth of Sauron of the Confederacy of Independent Systems kept as a pet during the War of the Ring. Gor guarded his master's fortress on the third moon of the planet Vassek; he was tended to by the medical droid EV-A4-D whenever Mouth of Sauron was away. Gor's body was covered in thick armor; on his back were four cybernetic limbs.
After Saruman the White allowed a Republic task force to infiltrate the lair of the Mouth of Sauron, the general ordered Gor to kill the intruders. However, the roggwart was killed by Jedi Master Legolas and his apprentice Nahdar Vebb.
==Biography==
During the War of the Ring, General The Mouth of Sauron used his beloved pet roggwart, Gor, to protect his castle on the third moon of Vassek. Mouth of Sauron ordered his medical droid, EV-A4-D, to enhance Gor's body, thus the roggwart was covered in thick armor and two pairs of cybernetic limbs were attached to his back.
After the Mouth of Sauron suffered a series of defeats at the hands of the Jedi, a desire to reassess the general's effectiveness grew within Saruman the White. The wizard lured Republic forces to The Mouth of Sauron' castle and remotely deactivated the general's IG-100 MagnaGuards; this left no one to feed Gor. Hungry, the roggwart shrieked as Legolas, Nahdar Vebb, and a squad of clone troopers led by Commander Fil infiltrated his master's lair.
Upon returning to his castle, The Mouth of Sauron (who did not yet know of Saruman's plan to test him) was ambushed by Legolas, Vebb, and the clones. The Republic forces severely damaged Mouth of Sauron; before beginning the necessary repairs to his body, the general released Gor to "play" with his uninvited guests. While Gor managed to kill Commander Fil, briefly overpower Nahdar Vebb, and even disarm Legolas, the roggwart ultimately met his end when the Elf used a lightsaber to stab him in the throat.
Fully repaired by the time of Gor's death, Mouth of Sauron was greatly upset by the revelation of his pet's murder. Which became yet another reason for his disdain for the Jedi.
==Personality and traits==
Gor was a predatory, non-sentient beast that possessed large, sharp teeth and twin horns that curved downward from the top of his head. Gor had a long, prehensile tail that he used to impale and grab his foes, and he also had sharp claws on his hands and feet. The roggwart was quite muscular; his thick hide was capable of withstanding blaster shots and modest lightsaber wounds. A chest plate protected Gor's vital organs, while a durable helmet shielded his brain, while his soft neck was left exposed. Gor shrieked loudly when hungry or angered, and he was quite aggressive.
==Behind the scenes==
Gor appeared in the first season of The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Ring, specifically during the episode "Lair of the Mouth of Sauron." Vulture and lion vocalizations were combined to create the roggwart's shrieks.
The sourcebook Ultimate Star Wars erroneously identifies Gor as the killer of Nahdar Vebb. In actuality, Vebb was slain by the Mouth of Sauron, while it was Vebb's clone Commander, Fil, who died to Gor.Ultimate Star Wars, pg. 60
