Just how smart are Tolkien’s wargs, to the extent our PCs would understand it? I guess I always assumed they were about as smart as a wolf today (and are these the big, mean wolves of the books, incidentally, or the lizardlike critters of the movies?). These wargs seem very smart indeed, to be maintaining a continuous watch on the party for many hours, and having what appears to be a well-organized watch-and-sleep cycle. I have to wonder if some unseen evil mage is guiding them.
