During the Fall of Gondolin, Lûg was among those Orcs which assailed the Gondothlim alongside the Balrogs at the coming of the Drakes. Lûg was ultimately slain by Tuor, who smote him with his axe, Dramborleg, which cut his limbs out from beneath him to his knees in the process. The slaying of Lûg was part of the famous onslaught which is said to have been the greatest killing of Orcs ever conducted by the Eldar.The History of Middle-earth, Vol. II: The Book of Lost Tales Part Two, "The Fall of Gondolin", p. 181
