It came from Norse mythology, vargr.Yeah I always did wonder where the word Warg/Worg came from
Most edition D&D monster manuals feature both wargs and dire wolves. In D&D terms, the warg is an intelligent monster that resembles a wolf, whereas the dire wolf is a bigger tougher animal (although the real world dire wolf was not much bigger than a modern grey wolf).I’be made that connection as well, although clearly D&D worgs are meant to be the stand-in for Tolkien wargs.
