Shadow of Mordor (by the way you put it it's cannon because it is a Lord of the Rings game) has some cool warg-like creatures called caragors (and caragaths). I belive that they're stronger than wargs, and they might be cool as a less tamable, more aggresive and powerful version of the wargs. Also caragaths have some characteristics of their own (in the game they're stealthier, so maybe you could make them faster but less resilient). It would be nice for the orcs to have some variety in their mounts, like other factions do with horses and whatnot. Oh also, wolves for the orcs would be cool too, so they can have really low-level mounted units.

Also found these on the LOTR wiki:

"In a demo with the lead designer, it was said that a Warg is to a Wolf what a Caragor is to Lion"

"Cargaths are like Tigers"
