Snaga (Isengard)

:
Snaga was one of Saruman's scouts led by Uglúk from Isengard to pursue the Fellowship in TA 3019 and capture the hobbits carrying the One Ring.
==Biography==
Snaga was a scout in the band of Isengarders led by Uglúk and tasked to return with their captives Meriadoc Brandybuck and Peregrin Took to Saruman, as told in The Two Towers. When Uglúk believed that the Rohirrim had been made aware of them, Snaga was blamed for it. The Uruk-hai captain threatened that he would cut off his ears.
Snaga was killed with the rest of the Orc-band by Éomer's éored.The Lord of the Rings, The Two Towers, Book Three, Ch. III: "The Uruk-hai"
== In adaptations ==
=== Peter Jackson's The Two Towers ===
In Peter Jackson's adaptation of The Two Towers, Snaga is portrayed as a young scout brought by Grishnákh to help him gain control of Merry and Pippin and hurry Saruman's scouts (though it is unclear if all the lesser Orcs or only Grishnákh are from Mordor, as they look similar to those from Isengard). His personality and role are rather that of the Moria-orcs who are absent from the film, but appear in the books and attempt to eat the captives.
Hunger for fresh meat eventually overcame his limited discipline and loyalty to the Dark Lord Sauron. After one of the Orcs known as Mauhúr begins to say that they haven't eaten anything except maggoty food for three days, Snaga joins in and adds that their captives ''look fresh'' until he is denied his meal by the Uruk-hai scouts loyal to The Eye and The White Hand. He eventually tried to get "Just a mouthful" of the two captured Hobbits by sneaking in behind Uglúk, who was making sure the captives got to Isengard unharmed and unspoiled. When the Orc attempted to kill Merry and Pippin, Uglúk saw him and lobbed off his head, after which the Uruk-hai cannibalize his corpse.
Snaga was played by Jed Brophy and voiced by Andy Serkis, who was uncredited for the part.
