Patricia BriggsWhat would a racist call werewolves? Wargs? She kind of liked that one, but suspected that racist bastards didn't read Tolkien.
About This Quote
Tolkien's classic "Lord of the Rings" has enchanted generations of readers. But in his writings, he also describes a race of creatures called "werewolves," whose bite is fatal to humans. The term "warg" means "man-wolf." The werewolf in Tolkien's world is a creature that can turn into a massive wolf, but it's also a human being. Some people find that idea strange, but it makes perfect sense when you consider that the werewolves are both human and wolf at the same time.
