* ArcherArchetype: Played with. He's pretty good with his bow, although he's not bad in melee either.

None


* OurDwarvesAreAllTheSame: Not surprising, since he's in the [[TropeCodifier trope-codifying]] universe. He even has a name taken from the ''Edda'". His use of a crossbow also fits the modern "classic dwarf" image of using more "technical" weapons than other races, even though Tolkien's dwarves wer never said to use them.

* {{Expy}}: He's essentially just Aragorn even down to being a Ranger who is good friends with both an elf and a dwarf.



** BigBadWannabe: He wants to be Lord of the North, but is still a vassal to Sauron.

* InvincibleVillain: Downplayed. While Urgost is not mighty by dragon standards (he's weaker than Smaug, who was the last of the great dragons and, according to Tolkien, any surviving dragons after that were lesser in might), the main characters state they have no idea how to kill Urgost beyond "throw everything they have at him and hope for the best." When they confront him, both sides know they don't stand a chance against him and Urgost needs their help.

* TheUnfought: When confronting him, you never actually fight him. Urgost is mainly there for the heroes to have one more reason to combat Agandaûr; since Urgost's loyalty can be bought with Carn Dum itself, deposing Agandaûr would leave the fortress open for occupation, causing the dragon to leave Middle-earth at large alone.

Since, in this setting, Dragons are supposedly stronger than Balrogs it'd be a good idea not to challenge him.

* HeroicSacrifice: Gravely injured due to various events in the game, he offers to help you in the final boss fight. If he does it, he'll deal a ton of damage to Agandaur, but will die in the process. There's an achievement for being able to keep him alive, too.

* NeutralEvil: Urgost will help Agandaur rather than refuse Sauron and he is a dragon ([[OurDragonsAreDifferent since dragons were made by Sauron's former master]]), but when the protagonists confront him, he is quick to make a deal with them; he won't help Agandaur if they kill Agandaur and let Urgost have treasure-filled city of Caran Dum.

* NobleBirdOfPrey



* SoftSpokenSadist: He always keeps his voice low; the closest he comes to a VillanousBreakdown is at the end, when the heroes confront him in Carn Dum. Even then, his (vocal) reaction is more one of annoyance than full-on rage.
