Why does Sauron wear Armour?
The design of Sauron’s armor was intended to be unique to him, and as singular in its forging as the One Ring. Its look was intended by the Weta Workshop designers to be disharmonious, because Sauron would not have wanted to wear anything that resembled the armor of Elves, Men, or any other race.
Did Sauron have a physical form during the War of the Ring?
