| Quote: | The Fellowship of the Ring, Book 2, Many meetings.
Gandalf to Frodo; 'Not all his servants and chattels are wraiths! There are orcs and trolls, there are wargs and werewolves; and there have been and still are many Men, warriors and kings, that walk alive under the Sun, and yet are under his sway. And their number is growing daily.' |
Werewolves??
Hhmmm, sounds like an untaped source of fan-fic there.....
I've always wondered about that passage, is there any other references to werewolves in the Sim or any of Tolkiens other works?? Ive never came across any myself.
(Just what I need, another diversion from the other stories I'm working on  )

This is all from memory, no Sil at hand, but:
Tol-in-Guarhoth- Isle of Werewolves, where Finrod died protecting Beren. I think Finrod and his companionsn were all slain by a werewolf. Lots of referneces to werewolves in the Silm, especially in tale of Beren and Luthien. IIRC Sauron's wolf guise was refered to as "werewolf". There maybe a few others, check the index of the Sil.
As to references to werewolves in LotR, I have no idea.

That reminds me, I just downloaded the Sim the other day as a pdf file, I ran a quick search and there are quit a few references to werewolves. I think I'll give the Sim another try.. (started to read it a couple of times, (paperback) but never finished it.)

Well if you like Huan in stories, I am currently working on Requiem in which he is a main character, well Celegorm too, but it is about friendship too..
