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
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 🫣
"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."
Technically a siege-breaking weapon.
