Orc-mounts by Quinton Hoover
Wolves were of old allied with the Dark Lord; Morgoth bred the two greatest of their kind, Draugluin and Carcharoth, and Sauron was wont to take the form of a great Wolf. The lesser kinds were sometimes used as steeds by the Orcs.
Wolf is also used as a short form of Werewolf.
Inspiration
- Possibly wolves on the plains outside Bloemfontein.
- "Only a few hundred yards beyond the houses [in Bloemfontein] was the open veldt where wolves, wild dogs, and jackals roamed and menaced the flocks, and where after dark a post-rider might be attacked by a marauding lion."
- ― J.R.R. Tolkien: A Biography
Portrayal in Adaptations
2007: The Lord of the Rings Online:
