Monster:Warg
|
The terrifying Warg of Middle-earth is the most vile and corrupt breed of the wolves found in the wilds of Eriador. Wargs are the dark spawn of an ancient evil, creatures which now relentlessly pursue the Free Peoples of Middle-earth. Wargs are occasionally found hunting on their own, though they prefer to hunt in packs. In the lands beyond Eriador, they even wilfully act as mounts in the service of the evil goblins and Orcs of the lands.
The great howl of the Warg can be heard for many miles, though their language is understood by few. Larger and more intelligent than the average wolf and able to attack with great swiftness, they are known for their cunning cruelty.
