In Tolkien's Middle-earth Azog was the name of an Orc chieftain who lived in Moria from about 2480 to 2799 Third Age.
He started the War of the Dwarves and Orcs in 2790 T.A. by killing Thrór, who came to revisit the ruins of Khazad-dûm.
In the following years he was the common enemy of all Dwarves, and the war he started climaxed in the Battle of Azanulbizar, where he killed Náin, but was himself slain by Náin's son Dáin.
His son Bolg inherited the rulership in Moria and continued it for another 150 years.
