Lugdush

"Man flesh!"

- Lugdush to Uglúk about the Rohirrim, The Two Towers, "The Uruk-hai" Lugdush was an Uruk-hai in the service of the wizard Saruman and a trusted lieutenant to captain Uglúk.

History
Lugdush was in the service of Saruman, and was one of the Uruk-hai scouts led by Uglúk that captured Merry and Pippin beneath Amon Hen, and took them westwards towards Isengard. He was ordered by Uglúk to set a guard around the two halflings and not kill them unless any assailants of the Uruks were to break through. Lugdush was later slaughtered by the Rohirrim near Fangorn forest, as were all the other Uruks and Orcs from Mordor (under Grishnákh's command).

Peter Jackson's The Two Towers
"I'm starving. We ain't ate nothing but maggoty bread for three stinking days!"

- Lugdush to Snaga on the lack of meat Lugdush stops Uglúk's company, when he catches the scent of "Man-flesh", telling his captain of it. In the extended edition he halts the company after seeing Orcs led by Grishnákh coming to their aid. It is Mauhúr who smells "Man-flesh" here.

When the Orcs stop for a rest during the night at the eaves of Fangorn Forest, Lugdush and Snaga begin complaining on the lack of food, with the Uruk-hai lieutenant remarking that they had eaten only "maggoty-bread". He is last seen among the scouts who devour the lesser Orc's corpse.
