The books and films based on J.R.R. Tolkien’s work are full of menacing creatures. In our ranking, we clarify who is the most dangerous.
How was the ranking created? Middle-earth is inhabited by a multitude of beings. Besides well-known races like Men, Elves, Dwarves, or Orcs, there are also numerous creatures.
On one hand, there are those we know from our real world, such as rabbits, horses, or cows. But there are also those that clearly belong to the fantasy genre. For this list, we looked at beings that are animals or remind us of them.
It’s important that they appear in “The Lord of the Rings” or in “The Hobbit”. Whether they stand on the side of Good or Evil doesn’t matter. The main thing is that they are extremely dangerous and make brave warriors tremble.
Place 7: Wargs
Wargs are basically just oversized wolves. On one hand, there are those from Saruman, one of the most powerful wizards from Middle-earth, who bred them. They were supposed to serve the Uruk-hai, which also originated from his “own production”, as mounts. On the other hand, there are also wild Wargs that have roamed Middle-earth since the First Age and once collaborated with the Orcs.
Wargs can grow up to three meters long and are a tough opponent purely due to their size. Mercilessly, they pounce on their enemies and tear them apart. Especially when these creatures move in packs, they pose a significant danger. Even with mounted units like the warriors of Rohan, they make short work of them.
