Wait… Sauron Was Defeated by a Dog Thousands of Years Before 'The Lord of the Rings'?

Charlie Vickers as Annatar, Halbrand, and a werewolf

J. R. R. Tolkien's greatest achievement is arguably the fact that he made us believe that tiny hobbits could be the ones to destroy Sauron, the most evil and powerful being on Middle-earth. Sauron is easily one of the most terrifying creations of all literature, and he doesn’t even need to appear in physical form in either book or film to elicit fear from the audience or heroes.

&#x2715 Remove Ads Huan is One of the Great Heroes Featured in Tolkien's 'The Silmarillion' Close Huan was the hound of Celegorm, one of the elves who left Valinor, and was given a prophecy that was similar to the doom all Noldor elves would face. The Silmarillion explained that Huan was told he wouldn’t die “until he encountered the mightiest wolf that had ever walked the world.

&#x2715 Remove Ads Well, Huan has a rather mysterious power scale compared to other characters throughout the lore of Tolkien. He could arguably be on the same level as Sauron, a Maia as Gandalf and Saruman also are. This is because he was a gift from Oromë, one of the 15 Valar, and was said to be imbued with certain powers befitting the companion of a Valar. However, Sauron’s power is arguably closer to Valar than Maia, so Huan’s victory is still a shock.

&#x2715 Remove Ads It is unlikely we will ever see the tale of Beren and Lúthien adapted, and therefore unlikely we will see Huan's great feat in besting Sauron in combat. However, Tolkien arguably wrote tales like this not for full-blown narratives equal to The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, but so that we can read or watch these narratives with the knowledge of all that has come before.
