Draugluin (died F.A. 465[1]) was the first Werewolf.
Bred from wolves and inhabited with an evil spirit sent by Morgoth himself, Draugluin was the sire of all Werewolves of Beleriand, and dwelled with his master Sauron in Tol-in-Gaurhoth, the former watchtower of Finrod Felagund.
He was slain by Huan during the Quest for the Silmaril, though he informed Sauron that Huan was present. Beren and Lúthien used his pelt to sneak into Angband.[2]
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. He may have been a fallen Maia.
Etymology
Draugluin means "Blue Wolf" in Sindarin, from draug ("wolf") + luin ("blue"),[3] in reference to the color of his pelt.
