What are they like? - Wargs are basically giant wolves, around 3-4 times the size of an average wolf, and they have large teeth and claws to match. Wargs range in colors, and can be most commonly found with white, black, orange, grey, or brown fur - and less commonly, yellow. They have very large legs, their shoulders are incredibly wide. Their eyes are usually black, but sometimes they can be a deep red color.
Where are they from? - According to some, Wargs were bred by morgoth. Others believe they are simply creatures of the underworld, and others think they come forth simply like other animals. The truth remains a mystery.
How intelligent are they? - Many would think they have intelligence similar to wolves - they'd be wrong. It is known first and foremost by many researchers that wargs can not only plan, organize, and work together; they can also speak to one another, and are able to communicate with other species of darkness (orcs/goblins).
Can Wargs be tamed? - Not by any of the free people. Wargs are, first and foremost, creatures under the control of Morgoth. However, it must be noted that if you can get a large hound to mate with a lesser warg, it is possible to create a very intelligent hybrid animal that, depending on the parents, may be trained. But this practice should only be done by (well, no one really) trained professionals. As for a full blooded warg, they work with (or under, it isn't clear) orcs and act as mounts, for mutual gain.
Wargs are a difficult creature to fully understand, but what is for certain is that they are dangerous. For those who are bold enough to try and hunt such a creature, there is more to keep in mind.
How do Wargs attack? - Wargs vary in their attacks based upon location, and number. On average, there are 8-12 Wargs in a pack, who all listen to the orders of one chieftain. They will hunt in a similar manor to wolves, by cornering their prey and mauling it to death. However, a solo warg is more cunning, and will sneak up on it's victim. For a large animal, they are good at hiding.
What else should you look out for? - Wargs attacks, though deadly, are highly limited. They are, despite higher intelligence, wolves. Their claws are sharp as daggers, and their teeth even sharper. A claw or bite from one of these, even in a non-fatal area, can kill one with a nasty case of green skin, where one will essentially rot before they die. So when combating one of these creatures, you most likely need to use either a very powerful crossbow, or a long handled spear, anything to keep the creature away from you.
