Wētā Workshop was intrinsically involved in the design and physical effects manufacture for all three films of The Lord of the Rings™ trilogy.

It takes hundreds of hours to design, sculpt, model make, mold, and paint the prototype for each new Middle-earth piece. Whether it be a prop replica, beautiful environment, or iconic character, we treat our collectibles with the same level of care and attention to detail that we bring to our film work.

The skull of a Warg is a remarkable specimen, reflecting both the predatory prowess and the evolutionary adaptations of this formidable creature.

Its elongated snout and pronounced sagittal crest suggest powerful jaw musculature, optimized for gripping and tearing. The robust dentition features prominent, conical canines and interlocking molars, indicating a carnivorous diet focused on hunting large prey. Wide zygomatic arches provide extensive anchorage for jaw muscles, while the forward-facing eye sockets imply keen depth perception—a crucial trait for an apex predator.

Each element of the Warg’s skull underscores its role as a dominant force in its environment, honed for survival and aggression. MINIATURE SKULLS: A CURATION OF MIDDLE-EARTH Each Miniature Skull, a compact yet detailed artifact, offers a profound glimpse into the anatomy of Middle-earth.

Enhance your collection with this unique curation and examine these creatures like never before.

Features:

• Made primarily from polystone
• Jaw made from polyurethane
• Based on the Orcish mounts, Wargs, as seen in The Lord of the Rings
• Obsidian-like stand makes this skull feel like an artifact straight out of the study of Saruman™

“Our authentic prop replicas and collectibles are designed by the very same artists who have worked on the three films, so effectively the come straight from Middle-earth.”
