The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey[]
Azog has Yazneg track the company of dwarves and Bilbo Baggins, led by Thorin Oakenshield, finding them at a campsite. Yazneg told the Orcs to send Azog a message that they found the company.
The night after they confront the Trolls, Yazneg's Wargs attack Thorin's company. Radagast the Brown helped the company escape Yazneg by having the orc hunters chase him. However, the orcs were attracted to the dwarves attacking one of their Orc scouts. Yazneg and his orcs forget Radagast and chase the company to the hidden passage. They stood thire ground at the entrance, where Ori used his slingshot to attempt to hit Yazneg but only managed to hit his Warg, who never flinched.
The elves came and slaughtered the Orcs and wargs, but Yazneg escaped, as Thorin's company had made their way to safety by then. For his failure, Azog threw Yazneg to the Wargs. Afterwards, Narzug took over as Azog's third-in-command
