Necromancer
for Necromancer in Del Toro Hobbit (2012-13)

In del Toro's original vision, The Hobbit would have been split into two movies, as he felt anything more than two might feel bloated. The first would contain the bulk of the story from the novel, exploring Bilbo's journey and adventure with the dwarves. Smaug would have been introduced in the first film, as would Azog. Del Toro believed that the first film needed to have a different tone than the second one, committing to the feel of a fairy tale. His aim was to alter the aesthetic of The Hobbit from the look and feel of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, making something different. He gathered sketches from older editions of the novel and paintings from fans of the works of Tolkien to inspire the texture and details of the piece. The design of the wargs, for example, was new, as Guillermo felt that Jackson's design was a little too close to real-world wolves, and Guillermo wanted to emulate the demon wolves found in Norse mythology.
