Bolg (Or."Wild") was the strongest son of Azog and succeeded his father as Orc-lord of the North in T.A. 2799. A huge and powerful Uruk he was as dangerous as his sire. Bolg ruled his Orc-kingdom from his capital at Mount Gundabad and later commanded the army of Orcs and Wargs at the Battle of the Five Armies (T.A. 2941). He was slain in the battle by the awesome Northman hero, Beorn.

Fanfiction
One fanfiction story shows Bolg abducting the elven-girl Hinarel, who supposably became the mother of his son Bolg II.
Movie Trilogy
In the Hobbit Movies Bolg is depicted as a Pale Orc, an ancient line or breed of Orcs possibly of demonic origin.The Film trilogy further revived Azog and gave him the leading role in the Battle of five Armies in contrast to the book, where Azog was slain in the Battle of Azanulbizar and the Host of Gundabad was commanded by his son Bolg.The Character called Bolg in the trilogy was reduced to a lesser commander of Dol Guldur. This was retconned for this wiki by establishing Bolg II as Bolg's son.
