The Hobbit

Warg, in Peter Jackson's adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit, is a monstrous, wolf-like creature native to Middle-earth. These ferocious beasts serve as mounts for Orc war parties, making them a fearsome presence on the battlefield.

Wargs first appear prominently in The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, during the company's flight from Goblin Town. They are depicted as significantly larger and more menacing than ordinary wolves, with snarling features and a distinctly aggressive nature. Led by the Pale Orc, Azog, packs of Wargs hunt down Thorin's company, forcing them to seek refuge in trees and later requiring rescue by the Great Eagles.

These Grey Wolves are shown to be intelligent enough to coordinate attacks and track prey across long distances. Their presence signifies a serious threat and highlights the dangers faced by the protagonists throughout their journey.
