I'm a 'dog person' but since a whippet falls into BOTH animal species, I was just looking for a way to exploit the horse person world.

By the way, that Warg in the photo looks to be the size of a buffalo! What gives? I thought they were supposed to be evil wolf-type creatures so I expected giant wolf size. (Of course I never figured out how the skinny guy in An American Werewolf in London could transform into such a huge creature. I have much to learn.)

Well I know what you mean about being wolf-size, but the wargs would have to be big like that, to be able to carry orcs on their backs and still move at great speed...

I can't imagine they have a working model that moves and can be filmed as is. I am guessing he is stationary and Aragorn rides up on him, and any action shots are CG.

Or maybe they just used Buffalo, and glued little dog-ears on them!

You do realize that I am squinting a bit at the whole "whippet falls into BOTH animal species" thing.... ;~D
