Warg
In Norse mythology, a vargr (pl. vargar; often anglicised as warg or varg) is a wolf and in particular refers to the wolf Fenrir and his sons Sköll and Hati. Based on this, J. R. R. Tolkien in his fiction used the Old English form warg (other O.E. forms being wearg and wearh) to refer to a wolf-like creature of a particularly evil kind.
==Etymology==
In Old Norse, vargr is a term for "wolf" (''ulfr''). The Proto-Germanic ''
*wargaz'' is related to Sanskrit ''vṛka'', proto-Iranian ''
*verk'' "wolf", Avestan ''vehrka'', Mazandarani ''varg'', Zazaki ''verg'', Old Persian ''varka-'', Persian ''gorg'' etc. In line 1514 of Beowulf, Grendel's mother is described as a ''grund-wyrgen'' or "warg of the depths."
