Pushkrimp working with the Gravewalker at Carnan’s behest
He would be drunk and/or high off pipe weed 24/7. Pushkrimp already was, but because Carnan charged him with fighting against his *brother*, (even if Pushkrimp found his actions abhorrent) Pushkrimp found it all the more difficult to stomach, along with the fact he had to work with the damn Gravewalker
Pushkrimp’s a functional alcoholic, so he pounds self brewed alcohol back all day and his performance doesn’t worse in the slightest, no matter how much scrutiny he is under
Talion and Celebrimbor are… confused? Unhappy as hell, but just- What?! Celebrimbor especially doesn’t think this is actually happening and is some kind of nightmare, but no, a nearly 9 foot tall Uruk was assigned to fight FOR Carnan beside of them (and to keep an eye on them, which is something neither of them is even willing to acknowledge because that means freaking Carnan trusts a bloody Uruk more than… literally anyone else)
Pushkrimp’s one of the hairiest Uruks either Talion or Celebrimbor’s ever seen (much to either of their disgusts), and he doesn’t smell that great either… But he’s far from the foulest (or filthiest) creature they’ve ever come across
Pushkrimp hates how Talion ‘tames’ beasts, to the point he threatens him and became physically violent when Talion did it the first and only time in front of him, grabbing him by the neck and throwing him off the beast, killing it with his spear and jumping onto Talion before he can get up and snarling at him in his feral dialect to “never taint the beasts of Carnan with his filthy undeath magics again”
Carnan speaks a variety of different languages, Quenya, Sindarin, Westron… Pushkrimp has learned more of these languages than he lets on, and can understand the languages spoken by others even if he struggles to speak it, himself
Typically answers in beastly noises- chuffs, snorts, growls and barks, much to Talion and Celebrimbor’s annoyances
Surprised (and flusters) the hell out of both Talion and Celebrimbor when he answers in Westron (especially when it’s a similar cadence as Carnan’s unique speech patterns)
After some time has passed and they both have risked their necks for the other a few times, Pushkrimp shares pipe weed with Talion, disproving Celebrimbor’a belief that there wasn’t any pipe weed in all of Mordor
Pushkrimp never brought any raiders he worked with anywhere close to Carnan’s forest. If ever asked ‘why’ by Talion (or at Celebrimbor’s insistence), Pushkrimp instead asks Talion in his unique way if “you brought the rapists and murders of the Black Gate (fellow ‘ranger’ convicts) around your ‘life-mate and offspring’?” Talion falls silent and they don’t speak for the rest of the night nor for the next few days before they pretend like it was never brought up
After a particularly rough fight with the Mystics, Pushkrimp offers his alcohol to Talion, who doesn’t wait to refuse the offer. Frustrated and annoyed, Pushkrimp shoves the bottle under Talion’s nose (with much difficulty), and Talion realizes it’s not grog, but rather something fruity, or berry-like, which makes it much more palatable to him and genuinely enjoyable
Celebrimbor would call Pushkrimp a “werewolf-like creature”, having nearly mistaken him for one as the Uruk moved at a distance with his awkward stance/gait and hairy, fur-draped body
