Draugluin was the first werewolf.

Bred from the wolves and inhabited with an evil spirit sent by Morgoth himself, Draugluin was the 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, 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.

It is believed Draugluin was a fallen Maia.


An earlier form of the name was Drauglir.
