Interesting point Eomer. I have returned to the archives and it seems that the source of the story that Morgoth created the first Wargs out of groundhogs is some extant scribbling on the back of a shopping list made up for Vehiron, Captain of the Guards of Minas Tirith under Earnur, by his wife.

However, in the most ancient scrolls and codexes of Numenor yet preserved in the City (not to mention some supplementary material found in the library at Caras Galadhon), we find that, though not originated by Morgoth, Wargs did not in fact exist as a seperate species in the beginning, but were an offshoot of the genus Lupus vindictivous, indiscriminati as the name runs in the speech of the Men of Rúm.
