Wargs is Jafar's wolves whose duty is to armies the entrance to the Agrabah. They made his secound appearance in Aladdin, Hades's wolves whose duty is to armies the entrance to the Underworld. They made his secound appearance in Hercules, Shan Yu's wolves whose duty is to hun armies the entrance. They made his third appearance in Mulan, Shere Khan's wolves whose duty is to armies the entrance to the Jungle. They made his secound appearance in The Jungle Book 2, Clay-Long Gasket and the Decepticon Armies rides with Wargs to the Robotcity. He made in Robots. From Norse mythology, a vargr (often anglicised as warg) is a wolf, especially the wolf Fenrir and the wolves Sköll and Hati, that chase the sun and moon. Based on this, J. R. R. Tolkien in his fiction used the form warg, which may incorporate Old Englishwearh, as the name of a particularly large and evil kind of wolf that could be ridden by orcs. Through Tolkien's influence, the concept has been used in fantasy works by other authors and in other media.
In Old Norse, vargr is derived from the Proto-Germanic root reconstructed as *wargaz, ultimately derived from the Proto-Indo-European (PIE) root reconstructed as *werg̑ʰ- "destroy". Vargr (compare modern Swedish varg "wolf") arose as a non-taboo name for úlfr, the normal Old Norse term for "gray wolf".[1]
In Norse mythology, wargs are in particular the mythological wolves Fenrir, Sköll and Hati. Sköll and Hati are wolves, one going before the sun, the other after the moon.[2]
Wolves also served as mounts for more or less dangerous humanoid creatures. For instance, Gunnr's horse was a kenning for "wolf" on the Rök runestone.[3] In the Lay of Hyndla, the eponymous seeress rides a wolf.[4] To Baldr's funeral, the jötunnHyrrokkin arrived on a wolf.[5]
The Hobbit (1977 animated film)[]
In the 1977 animated adaptation of The Hobbit, Gandalf, Bilbo, and the Dwarves are being chased by Wolves (Wargs) and like the book, are chased up a tree. The Wizard defends the group from the wolves, using magic infused pinecones, until Goblin wolf-riders begin to burn the tree. However, they are soon rescued by Gwaihir and his Eagles.
Peter Jackson's films[]
The Hobbit film trilogy[]
The Gundabad Wargs are wolf-like with grey fur, and are bred by the Orcs of Mount Gundabad. Throughout the events of The Hobbit film trilogy, a pack of Wargs are in the employ of Sauron's minion, Azog, who had survived the battle at Moria. Among these Wargs is a larger one with a white pelt that Azog rides, revealed in The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey Chronicles: Creatures & Characters guide book to be the Warg Matriarch of the Gunbabad Wargs. Gandalf states in The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey that the Gundabad Wargs are faster than any other breed.
In the events of An Unexpected Journey, a pack of Warg-riders led by Yazneg and Fimbul stalk the company of Thorin II Oakenshield before making their presence known in the Trollshaws. Though Radagast offers to distract their pursuers by riding on his sled pulled by Rhosgobel Rabbits, the Warg-riders see the Company and chase after them before finding themselves ambushed by the Elves of Rivendell after the Company flees into the Hidden Pass. Azog later feeds Yazneg to the Wargs at the Orc camp at Weathertop. Azog later rides the Warg Matriarch to personally hunt Thorin, who manages to elude him with the aid of both the Great Eagles of the Misty Mountains and Beorn. The Gundabad Wargs make fewer appearances in the The Desolation of Smaug, when Bolg and a small force of Warg-riders trail the company to Dale. In The Battle of the Five Armies, Azog rides the Warg Matriarch on the march to the Lonely Mountain before instructing Bolg to retrieve their reinforcements at Gundabad. In the extended edition of The Battle of the Five Armies, a company of forty Gundabad Wargs, including between fifteen and twenty Warg riders, are part of Azog's massive army and also participate in the final battle outside the city of Dale and the Dwarven Kingdom of Erebor.
A Warg as seen in The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
The eastern Wargs seen in the Lord of the Ringsfilm trilogy are noticeably hyena-like in appearance. An eastern Warg measures about five feet at the shoulder, and could be up to eight in length from snout to hindquarters. The head has a short muzzle full of huge fangs, small eyes set on the sides of the head and ears at the back of the skull.
In The Two Towers film, Saruman sends the Orc Sharku with a company of Warg-riders to attack the people of Rohan as they make their way to Helm's Deep. Sharku battles Aragorn, and his Warg falls with Aragorn off of a cliff into a river. The Wargs and Orcs lose the battle, and the survivors flee.
In The Return of the King film, a Warg serves as the mount for Gothmog during the Siege of Gondor, and several other Wargs can be seen storming the city with their Orc riders. In the commentary in the Special Extended Edition of the film, Jackson said that the scene was chaotic to shoot, and that the Wargs were the only computer-generated creatures he felt could have looked more convincing. He also thought the scene itself could have turned out better if his team had a more organized storyboard layout for the battle.
Video games[]
In MUME ("Multi-Users in Middle-earth"), there are many types of Wargs found in different locations, including a type that player and non-player Orcs can ride.
In The Lord of the Rings: The Third Age, there is a small colony of wild Wargs living in a hollow rock formation in northeast Rohan, one of which is particularly large and used as a mini-boss for a side quest.
In The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-earth and The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-earth II video games, the Isengard faction can train and use Warg-riders as a mounted unit.
In The Lord of the Rings Online, Wargs can be found throughout the world. A Warg-stalker is also a playable class in Monster Play.
In the Medieval 2: Total War: Kingdoms mod, Third Age: Total War, Warg Riders are used by the factions of Isengard, Misty Mountains, and Gundabad as a light cavalry unit.
In LEGO The Lord of the Rings: The Video Game, Wargs appear as enemies and can be ridden in the level "Warg Attack."
