It seems Orcs do have their artistic side the Tolkien universe, as a singing Orc bard in "Middle-Earth: Shadow of War" has just been discovered.

"Middle-Earth: Shadow of War," developed by Monolith Productions and published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, is proud to introduce "Shaka the Singer," an Orc Warchief that, when encountered by players, will sing before trying to kill them. After delivering his humorously sadistic rhymes, Shaka will also fight Talion with a magic one-of-a-kind lute.

Shaka was encountered by Rachel Weber, senior news editor for Games Radar, when her trip to Minas Tirith was welcomed by the dangerous bard. The name "Shaka," as suggested by PC Gamer, is drawn from a pool of standard Orc names, so the next time players meet another Orc Warchief bard, his name may be different, as some Orc Warchief's names are procedurally-generated by the game.

Adding up to the list of peculiar Orc Warchiefs in "Shadow of War," a Warchief named "Pug the Friendly" was encountered by James Davenport, associate editor of PC Gamer. Pug the Friendly, true to his namesake, did not want to fight the player when confronted, but instead wanted to have a friendly chat, despite carrying a weapon and having a physically imposing constitution.

Additionally, an Orc Warchief voiced by comedian Kumail Nanjiani is also featured in-game. Despite Nanjiani allegedly trying to try his best to speak like an Orc, his character still sounded like him, as seen in one episode of Clueless Gamer by Conan O' Brien. Nanjiani is best known for his comedic role as Dinesh Chugtai in the show "Silicon Valley."

Still, the goal of the game is to enslave or kill all the Orc Warchiefs that the players encounter, including the weird, friendly, or funny ones.

"Middle-Earth: Shadow of War" was released on Oct. 10 and is now available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Android, Microsoft Windows.
