Biography Edit

Bred from the wolves and inhabited with an evil spirit sent by Morgoth himself, Draugluin was a dreadful, old, and evil abomination and was the lord and sire of all werewolves of Beleriand, and dwelt with his master Sauron in Tol-in-Gaurhoth, the former watchtower of Finrod Felagund.

Draugluin was slain by Huan during the Quest for the Silmaril after a long battle, and Beren and Lúthien used his pelt to sneak into Angband.

Draugluin was the sire of Carcharoth and many other werewolves. It is probable the Wargs of the Third Age were descended from him, as these wolves could speak, suggesting they had Fëar.

Etymology Edit

While Draugluin translates as "Blue Wolf" in Sindarin, a closer translation is believed to be "pale wolf."

"Drauglir" was an eariler form of the name.
