Men have been obsessed with siege weapons since at least the 1300s. Grond is just as beautiful as Warwolf.
The Flores Historiarum claims that the Warwolf sent a single stone through two of the castle’s walls in the course of the siege, “like an arrow flying through cloth”.[5] Other sources, however, report that the weapon was only finished after the Scots had surrendered.[4] Edward decided to use it anyway, refusing to let anyone enter or leave the castle until it had been tested.[6]

I knew it was Warwolf before I’d even finished reading your comment based entirely on Longshanks looking exactly as he did in Braveheart. I need to get a life 🫣
Technically a siege-breaking weapon.

Carving such a massive, intricate and beautiful skulptur and then proceed to smash it into a fortress as a battering ram is one of the most Orc-y things ever.
from the wiki:
Grond, or the Ram,[1] was a huge battering ram with a hideous head resembling that of a ravening wolf.
Grond, I think you’re beautiful!
I fail to see the problem.
As a 40K fan, I fail to see the issue here.
Siege weapon that doubles as 40k audible
"Then Morgoth hurled aloft Grond, the Hammer of the Underworld, and swung it down like a bolt of thunder.
But Fingolfin sprang aside, and Grond rent a mighty pit in the earth, whence smoke and fire darted.
Many times Morgoth essayed to smite him, and each time Fingolfin leapt away, as a lightning shoots from under a dark cloud; and he wounded Morgoth with seven wounds, and seven times Morgoth gave a cry of anguish, whereat the hosts of Angband fell upon their faces in dismay, and the cries echoed in the Northlands."
