There are many creatures that roam the Great Plateau of Gorgoroth, though none quite so large as the Great Beast. These huge, lumbering creatures are not inherently evil, though over countless decades they have been pressed into service by the armies of Sauron – used as beasts of burden for pulling war machines and as fighting platforms for their Orcish oppressors. Such barbaric treatment has, over the years, taken its toll on these creatures and they've become brutal and aggressive, the perfect temperament for a monster of Mordor. In battle, they are generally used as a battle platform for a mob of Orcs, who will use its armoured hide as a shield against attack, launching their own black-fletched arrows back at the enemy when it is safe to do so. Meanwhile, the Great Beast beneath them will rampage through the enemy army, causing horrendous casualties as it flattens all those in its path.
