Wolf or Hyena?

[Gilthalion]

I think <B>DaughterofVana</B> may be on the right track.<P>They do resemble hyenas, on the large and primitive side, of course. It definitely rings a bell. These cinematic wargs may have been taken from an actual prehistoric canine.<P>Note also the oliphaunts! If I am not mistaken there are fossils of pachyderms of that size and tusk-structure back a couple of million years. I remember something of the like very clearly.<P>Someone with a little more energy (I am tired and hungry and about to leave!) might be able to look these up and get a match.
