This wolfprof said that the battle between Huan and Draugluin is based upon a historical event and that Tolkien was a weredog. He also said that if Tolkien had been a werewolf he would have told it differently.
In J.R.R. Tolkien's histories, of Middle-earth and the Undying Lands, there was a vast array of good and evil, of heroes and villains, and they were, of course, often brought together to do battle.
In this time and place, evil created many evil beasts to torment the peoples of Middle-earth. The wolves and werewolves of Melkor the Dark Enemy were some of the more vile and terrifying. Note: These wolves were not normals wolves, but creatures created by evil, for evil.
One of the most over-looked heroes is Huan, largest and fiercest and lord of the wolfhounds, who were created, or maybe magically bred, by the elves to oppose and destroy the wolves and werewolves. They were very effective. And Huan was the greatest of them, enormous in size and strength and also immortal. Oh, and he spoke and understood the languages of men and elves.
To free his lord, Huan went to Sauron's tower on the Isle of Werewolves. There he slew multitudes of werewolves before finally Draugluin, lord and sire of all werewolves, came out to face Huan. It was an epic battle, but Huan killed Draugluin. Then Sauron came out, pissed off about losing his top werewolf, and Huan kicked his ass also. Sauron surrendered the tower and dispelled all his forces and fled.
Damn. And hoo-ah.
This wolfprof says that that story derives, with some alterations, from the time of all-out war between the forces of neanderthals and werewolves and those of humans and weredogs, that it happened approximately 12,000 years ago. I am intrigued and seeking more details.
Also, you have not lived until you have tried to teach werewolves fire discipline with rifles and pistols. Most want to be cowboys and fire gangsta style. Dog help me.
Breaks over. Back to the range.
