Warg - Norse mythology
In Norse mythology, wargs are in particular the demonic wolves Fenrir, Skalli and Hati. In the Hervarar saga, king Heidrek is asked by Gestumblindi (Odin),
What is that lamp
which lights up men,
but flame engulfs it,
and wargs grasp after it always.
Heidrek knows the answer is the Sun, explaining
She lights up every land and shines over all men, and Skalli and Hatti are called wargs. Those are wolves, one going before the sun, the other after.
But wolves also served as mounts for more or less dangerous humanoid creatures. For instance, Gunnr's horse was a kenning for "wolf" on the Rök Runestone, in the Lay of Hyndla, the völva (witch) Hyndla rides a wolf, and to Baldr's funeral, the giantess Hyrrokin arrived on a wolf.
