Fans were left stunned after uncovering a ‘disturbing’ scene from the final Lord of the Rings film that didn’t make it to the final cut. In a fantasy realm teeming with giant spiders, orcs, goblins and trolls, it’s not surprising that some characters could be the stuff of nightmares.

One such inhabitant of Middle-earth, set to appear in Return of the King, could certainly have caused sleepless nights if it had made it to the big screen. However, for reasons unknown, Peter Jackson chose to omit his rendition of the JRR Tolkien character from the Hollywood version.

This left some movie enthusiasts questioning why it was removed, given how well-executed it was, reports the Daily Star. Despite being axed from the cinema release, the character was included in the extended edition, giving fans the chance to see the character in all its terrifying splendor.

In the Extended Edition of The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, Jackson introduces us to a character known as the Mouth of Sauron, who truly lives up to his name. All teeth and terror, he is depicted as one of Sauron’s most loyal servants, acting as his envoy.

The character served as the Lieutenant of the Tower of Barad-dur during the War of the Ring. Over time, his real name became lost, unknown even to himself. He was portrayed as an evil man of tall stature, dressed in black robes and a towering black helmet.

When Aragorn and his allies approach the Black Gate of Mordor, the appearance of a certain character is both repulsive and fascinating. In conversation with Aragorn and Gandalf, he proudly displays Frodo’s Elvish chainmail shirt as a symbol of triumph.

Fans were thrilled to finally see this “malevolent” character and took to X, previously known as Twitter, to share their thoughts.

One fan posted: “The Mouth of Sauron is so delightfully disturbing and malevolent. Plus huge props to makeup and wardrobe for putting this guy together.”

Another commented: “The mouth of Sauron is disturbing AF.” A third chimed in: “It’s a freakish and suspenseful scene that I can’t imagine why was originally cut.” While a fourth added: “Tense at the sight of the mouth of Sauron, disgusting disturbing figure of darkness.”
