Chocolate Frog Card.[src]

Urg the Unclean was a goblin activist who became notorious for having led the 18th century Goblin Rebellions.[1]

At some point in his life he was publicly dunked in a village pond by a group of young wizards.[2] This event precipitated one of the bloody rebellions in which Urg himself was the dissident leader.[3] For his role in the Goblin Rebellions, he was featured on one Chocolate Frog Card.[1]

When Ron Weasley sat his fourth year History of Magic final, he forgot some of the names of the goblin rebels, and thus invented a few as cover, stating that this was easy because "they're all called stuff like Bodrod the Bearded and Urg the Unclean."[4]
