Re: wargs

"You got a flaming arrow in my wolf!"
"No, you got wolf all over my flaming arrow!"
"Hey, it tastes great!"

What "time-mastering"? I just calls 'em as I sees 'em.<blockquote>Quote:<hr> At the start of the final all out attack by the wolves:

The night was old, and westward the waning moon was setting, gleaming fitfully through the breaking clouds.

...and after the wolves had been driven off:

Slowly the fire died till nothing was left but falling ash and sparks; a bitter smoke curled above the burned tree-stumps, and blew darkly from the hill, as the first light of dawn came dimly in the sky. Their enemies were routed and did not return. "What did I tell you, Mr. Pippin?" said Sam, sheathing his sword.<hr></blockquote>That would be Sam, sheathing his sword afterthe first light of dawn came into the sky.

And what could be more unequivocal than "Their enemies were routed and did not return."? Is there a HoME version with a deleted phrase: "(except to sneak in and clean up the remnants of the dead)."?

Wolf-creature bodies dissolving is no more outlandish than Nazgûl bodies disappearing, (regular) trolls turning to stone in the sunlight, or dragons breathing fire.
