WoodwosesWild creatures of the deep forestMan-like creatures, hairy and wild, that were rumoured to live secret lives in the darkest depths of forests. The Woodwose is a creature from British folklore, but the name was used by Saeros in Doriath to taunt the unkempt and wayworn Túrin. Woodwoses were also connected, via the word 'Woses' from the same etymological root, with the Drúedain, the wild forest-dwelling Men commonly called Woses by the people of Rohan. Notes
