Wargs v.s. Wolves
 

What is the difference between Wargs and Wolves? Or are they the same? Which one is stronger? Would win in a fight?

There, I think that are all of my questions on wolves and Wargs! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

I am a wolf fanatic, and as far as I'm concerened, Wargs are Werewolf-like and wolves are more Wolf-dog across the street-like. But they're all kewl to me! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Wargs were probably larger because orcs would ride on them like horses, they might also have been trained, were as the ordinary wolf was wild

They were probably also a little smarter because Gandalf understood their language.

Wargs as evil/demonic is the key difference. They had evil fear (that's fay-ahr, elvish for 'spirit') dwelling in them. These fe-ar are what gave them their intelligence, and their increased size probably came along with the evil spirits, from Morgoth in the First Age.

O.K. thanks guys!

But looking back again......

It seems that they are interchangeable.

There is also proof that wargs were just evil wolves.

What do you think?

Well...while 'wargs' are certainly wolves wolves are not necessarily 'wargs'.

That sounds very confusing but i get it anyway, i agree

Ya know, it always bugged me that there is no such thing as a good wolf in LotR. I realize that Tolkien wrote out of the Northern legends and myths, in which wolves were commonly regarded as enemies, but I still wish....

But I agree that Wargs were wolves - they were just evil wolves.

the wargs were on the west side of the misty mountains and bigger and smarter.wolves were on the eastside

ok, i know this! Great Warg told me. The wolves have no side, they are just normal dumb creatures. The wargs are on the evil side, and they are a lot smarter. Clear?

O.K. I think I understand. Thanks all!
