High fantasy pioneer J.R.R.
Tolkien defined many races in LotR, from Men to Wizards and Orcs.
But the Mouth of Sauron of Peter Jackson’s movie didn’t seem like any of them.
Of the first Men to awaken in Hildorien, those who foughtthe villainous Morgothbecame known as the Edain.
Many of these migrated to the island kingdom of Numenor and were friendly with Elves.
These enlightened Numenoreans were aware ofthe 15 Valar- Tolkien’s demigods.
This was due to Sauron’s corruption.
Umbar was one such outpost.
The accompanying narration confirmed that he was Sauron’s messenger.
According toUnfinished Tales,which published Tolkien’s unfinished drafts, Khamul was an Easterling Ringwraith.
He was a sorcerer and rode an unexplained demonic horse.
During his service to Sauron, “he learned great sorcery.”
Tolkien implied the Mouth of Sauron’s decay in other places, making him seem more animal than Man.
This supported Jackson’s monstrous visualization of him, although Tolkien confirmed he was “a living man.
“The Mouth emerged from the Black Gate inReturn of the Kingto negotiatewith the Fellowship.
He was rude and manipulative and fled when his terms were refused.
Sauron’s army swiftly attacked, distracting Sauron from Frodo’s movements as the Fellowship had hoped it would.
This change wasn’t particularly consequential to the overarching events of the story.
The Mouth of Sauron’s animalistic deformities were creative but fair expressions of his character.
