Often mistaken for wargs, war-wolves (S. "ormaráka"; pl. "ormarákar"; aka "yelmaráka") were huge dogs who had been bred and trained for combat. They were frequently employed in large numbers as trackers, scouts, or as a means of harassing enemy armies. Some, like the war-wolves of Waw, were actually fielded as combat units. Others, such as the war-wolves of Angmar, served as mounts for Orcish raiders and Orc-lords. These creatures appeared to be just overlarge wolves. This was true, but war-wolves were bolder, more violent, and much more cunning.
