He was never called "the Defiler," and was never described as being any different from another orc, except for having a "huge head." The scars and pale skin make a very distinctive character, and as far as villainous titles go, "the Defiler" is as good as it gets. My Opinion: I'll start with the good first: Azog is made far more interesting than he ever was in the books (or, should I say, the appendices). Peter Jackson is not only creating storylines of his own, but he's making changes on details that Tolkein had been very clear on. Azog's death was never in question his head was removed after the Battle of Azanulbizar. This change is enormous Peter Jackson is literally bringing characters to life that had explicitly and unambiguously died before the novel even started. What difference does it make? The orc pack hunting Thorin's Company has already been discussed, but this time, we learn that they are headed by none other than Azog himself. Azog was killed at the Battle of Azanulbizar. As the wargs tear Yazneg apart, Azog angrily demands the rest of the orcs send word out - he is placing a bounty on the Dwarf King's head. He is uninterested in Yazneg's excuses, and kills him for his failure. Azog is large, covered in scars, and most noticeably, is pale as snow.
Probably the only twist that those who didn't read the book saw coming before those who did.Īzog's hand, which had been chopped off by Thorin at the Battle of Azanulbizar, has been replaced with a metal fork.
