Mauhúr

Mauhúr was an Uruk-hai of Isengard in the late Third Age, during the War of the Ring.
== Biography ==
Mauhúr was sent to reinforce Uglúk and Saruman's scouts as they returned to Isengard with Merry and Pippin, after the battle at Amon Hen and death of Boromir. He found them surrounded by Éomer's Rohirrim éored at the edge of Fangorn Forest, from which he led his Uruk-hai in an attack. However, despite Mauhúr's reinforcements, the Rohirrim were able to defeat the Orcs, killing some and driving away others. It is untold whether Mauhúr was among those killed or those driven away.The Lord of the Rings, The Two Towers, Book Three, Chapter III: "The Uruk-hai"Mauhúr, Encyclopedia of Arda
