Caragors

Caragors are large, wild Warg-like creatures that are native to Mordor, being the realm's top predator, they are aggressive, not easily tamable beasts.They are of much the same size and appearance as Wargs, however their skin is far more rough, having little to no hair, and having spiked, jagged backs.

Terrifying creatures, Caragors prowl the landscape of Mordor, searching for prey to feast upon. They, more often than not, travel in packs to take down larger prey, like Trolls or Graugs, usually Dire Caragors are the leaders of these packs. Their powerful legs make them excellent sprinters and fair climbers and their jaws are powerful enough to snap through bones and cut through all manner of armour. They would often attack and kill any competing predator, such as Wargs, on sight. There was also a subspecies of Caragor that resided in Núrn known as Caragaths, these were known for being a far more stealthier breed.

As Caragors are difficult to domesticate and are also remarkably stubborn and resistant to training, the orcs of Mordor often kill them or cage them up in an attempt to restrain them.
