Othrod
Othrod was a "lord of the Orcs" that was slain by Tuor in Gondolin.
History
During the Fall of Gondolin, Othrod was among those Orcs which assailed the Gondothlim alongside the Balrogs at the coming of the Drakes. Othrod was ultimately slain by Tuor, who clove his helm with his axe, Dramborleg, in the process.
Etymology
Othrod is clearly Gnomish, but it is not glossed. The Qenya cognate was Osorot.
Other versions of the legendarium
Othrod never appeared within any of Tolkien's writing after "The Fall of Gondolin" in The Book of Lost Tales.
