The Warg and Warg Rider Appreciation Thread

Evening,

Gangamel here! Nice to see Wargs getting such a healthy tribute!

I used to breed them in the Rhun Hills until they turned on us. I was away at the time, getting supplies for our colony. My faithful companion, Wargy was with me too. He was strong enough not to be corrupted by the others.

Ah, Wargy! He died some time ago and how I miss him. The people we slaughtered together. Now I am left to fester in the Hills by myself.

Maybe you know of other places where Wargs were bred?

Gangamel The Wicked


P.S. I have failed to live up to my name since the death of Wargy. I have fallen into a deep melancholy unheard of for Orcs.

Gangamel, let me be the first to welcome you to the now world famous Warg and Warg Rider Appreciation Thread. It is not often that we have visits from an orc here at the thread, so let me extend a friendly hand to you on behalf of all hobbit-kind.
You are very privileged to have known this Wargy of whom you speak. Tell me, is he the same Wargy to whom Eomer has in past times referred? If so then tell us, was he really as sick and twisted as tales tell. Some have suggested he is the singlemost interesting case study one could have in wargs who went wrong.
Alas, now I must go. May you fester well, Gangamel.

No, I am afraid it is not the same Warg. I named my warg in tribute to the illustrious Wargy. Although, my Warg was only half the Warg that Wargy was.

Many a man, dwarf and elf did we slay together, but we couldn't destroy entire armies like the real Wargy could.

You know what i relaized, along side the sensless unappreciation of wargs, the orcs receive so much prejudice, many downers enjoy slaughtering the innocent orcs of Mordor(that reminds me of a hilaurious video that is a mix of Farenhiet9/11 and Lord of the Rings, very funny) since no that this thread is world famous, maybe now orcs, and many other unknown beasts can be appreciated for their...umm....Peach Cobbler goodness?

The Warg and Warg Rider Appreciation Thread does exactly what it says on the tin, and no more. We cannot concern ourselves with the ill-fortunes of orckind- no offence, Gangamel.
The injust mistreatment of wargs is more than enough for us to concern ourselves with, and I think it'd take a pretty convincing argument (ie Eru telling me, in person, and accompanying this statement with a signed letter with the witness signatures of at least three of the Valar vouching for thye truth of the statement) for me- or any of us here at the thread- to be convinced that anything else in the whole world was more worthy of my time and effort.

Wargs are the greatest!

Gil-Galad, it is very nice of you to vouch for my kin and the many other under-appreciated beasts of Middle Earth, but I feel we can only truly appreciate the Warg.

The Warg has everything you need to survive in this world. Many a time was I saved from certain death, at the hands of one of my many foes, by Wargy.

I feel that no beast in Middle Earth had as much courage, strength and bravery as the Warg. They were natural born killers, and for that I am grateful.

Wargs are the greatest! Need I say more?

But is this not The Warg and Warg Rider Appreciation thread? Is not the fate of the Warg tied inextricably to that much under-appreciated profession of the Warg Rider, who is almost exclusively drawn from the race of the Ork? Should not those who are concerned therefore with the Warg be concerned also with who ride him?

[SamwiseGamgee]

Ah, Formendacil, your point is noted, but I feel that to bestow the title of Warg Rider upon any other than the original and best is an unwise decision. Now, Eomer can correct me if I'm wrong on this point, but I feel it is a valid one to make.

Although posted in jest, I seem to recall an obscure reference in the library at Minas Tirith (where, as I am welcome at Aragorn's Court, I have been found often of late), to the fact that Sting, Glamdring, and Orcrist shone green in the presence of Wargs.

Can anyone with Gondolinic knowledge verify this? If so, was it true for all Wargs, or just those corrupted by Morgoth?
