The Mouth of Sauron is a mysterious figure in The Lord of the Rings, appearing grotesquely outside the Black Gates in part three of the novel, The Return of the King. Peter Jackson cut the Mouth of Sauron from The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King movie but added him to the extended edition, confirming his importance to the narrative. 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.
