"I should say at that place were petty bears, large bears, ordinary bears, and gigantic big bears, all dancing exterior from dark to nearly dawn."

—Gandalf, while at the house of Beorn

Bears were large and ferocious animals of Middle-earth. They apparently could communicate with the Beornings (who could announced in the form of either Men or Bears), as it is stated that Beorn, when in comport shape, could speak "the tongue of bears". This likewise implies that bears had their own language. They were big, hulking, furry quadrupeds (yet, they could stand on their hind legs to intimidate enemies) who were natural hunters. They had sensitive eyes, and long snouts with sensitive noses and huge fanged mouths.

Bears were native to Wilderland, between the Misty Mountains and Mirkwood, where they thrived by hunting. However; they were not carnivores, as was demonstrated by their dearest of love. As the bees of Wilderland were at to the lowest degree twice equally big equally boilerplate bees, the bears were jump to accept tough leathery peel, either as a natural attribute or from adaptation to bee stings.

At least some of the bears were allies of the Beornings, equally was demonstrated when a pack of bears assisted Beorn in the hunting of a pack of Warg-Riders from Goblin-boondocks, but Beorn as well gave reference to "Wicked bears", in that wicked bears were most likely allies of the Wargs and Orcs of Wilderland. Since bears had their own language, and could be classified as adept or evil, they were ostensibly sentient to at least some degree.

Boars were wild pigs that roamed Middle-globe. They had swell tusks that they would use for a weapon.

Cats of Berúthiel

During the Third Age, Queen Berúthiel of Gondor kept nine black cats and one white true cat. The black cats spied on the Men of Gondor, but failed to hide the fact that they were spying. On the other manus, the white cat was ordered to spy on the black cats and did a better work than them, every bit the black cats never institute out that they were being watched. When Berúthiel was exiled from Gondor, her black cats accompanied her.^{[5] [8]}

It was narrated of how the fox thought information technology was very queer to see Hobbits asleep in the woods, just the flim-flam didn't stay to find out anything more than.^[12] This play a trick on seems to have possessed sentience, although it's not articulate if all foxes in Centre-earth did, and this may have but been personification. Afterwards, the Hobbits run into some other flim-flam, although it is unlikely that this is the same one they had seen in the woods.

Wolves

Wolves were 4-legged, carnivorous canines who lived in Arda since the Outset Age. There were many subspecies in Eye-world - autonomously from the original Gray Wolves, these groups included the White Wolves, Dogs, Werewolves, and Wargs.

Dogs were domesticated from Grayness Wolves. Werewolves were bred from Gray Wolves inhabited by demons and were minions of the Dark Powers.

Wolves, similar many other animals in Arda (Crows, Bats, burden beasts, Mumakil, etc.) had nothing to do naturally with forces of darkness only served information technology at varying points throughout the Ages. Carcharoth, Draugluin, and the other evil wolves of the First Age were normal wolves possessed past Morgoth's ability, and the Wargs may have been descended from them.^[13]

Because of their foreign relationship with the Night Powers, Information technology is unknown whether wolves were created just equally the other Middle-globe beasts were created, or if they were created past Morgoth. If they were created by Morgoth, they were probably the to the lowest degree evil of his creations. During the First Age, the only known time they fought for Morgoth was During the War of Wrath, in which most of the wolves were slain, but a few survived and fled to condom. During the third age, the wolves that lived in Angmar pledged loyalty to The Witch-king. It is besides unknown if they chose to bring together the armies of Angmar, or if they were forced to confronting their will. They fought in many battles against Arnor and presumably continued to thrive in Angmar later on its final defeat.
