Beorn often left his home, for hours or days at a time, for purposes not completely known.

His origins lay in the distant past, and Gandalf the Grey suspected he and his people had originally come from the mountains. Sir Ian McKellen portrays Gandalf in The Two Towers. ...

Characteristics Beorn was a skilled woodworker and builder, especially within his property, as he was also adroit with hand tools. He was very protective of his trained animals, who were of high intelligence. He was usually suspicious and distrustful of strangers, so Gandalf had to trick him into giving his party shelter (which he received in good humour). He was also fearless and intimidating, and a fearsome enemy (capturing an orc and a wolf, he put the orc's head on a pike and skinned the wolf).

Old English (also called Anglo-Saxon[1], Old English: ) is an early form of the English language that was spoken in parts of what is now England and southern Scotland between the mid-fifth century and the mid-twelfth century. ...
