Great Beast

Requires Level 2 Great Siege Works Strong vs. Structures and Cavalry These lumbering creatures are native to the great ash-covered plains of Gorgoroth, feeding on the thick roots that grow in the dry soil of that barren land. The orcs were quick to realize their potential as beasts of burden and war, and have long bred them in captivity, fielding them in Sauron's war against the lands of Gondor.
