Huan, the Hound of Valinor, was a great wolfhound, one of the hunting dogs of Oromë the Hunter. Huan had been granted special powers by the Valar. He was as large as a small horse, immortal, tireless and sleepless, and was allowed to speak three times before he died. It was also prophesied that he could not be killed unless it was by the greatest wolf that ever lived, in this case a werewolf.
At the gates of Angband, the mighty wolf Carcharoth had bitten Beren's hand from his wrist, and with it the Silmaril it held. The Silmaril was a hallowed jewel, and burned the innards of the evil monster. In searing pain, the wolf blindly chased through Beleriand and, breaking the Girdle of Melian, roamed madly through the lands of Doriath.
King Thingol set out to hunt the wolf with the greatest of his warriors. With him went Mablung of the Heavy Hand, Beleg Cúthalion, Beren Erchamion and Huan the Hound of Valinor. They found Carcharoth under the eaves of Neldoreth, drinking beneath a waterfall of the River Esgalduin. Eventually, after a mighty battle, Huan slew Carcharoth, but both he and Beren were mortally wounded.
