Can animals be hero’s.
If so I cast my vote for Huan the Hound of Valinor
-Born in Valinor
-Had the power to comprehend the speech of all things with voice, and was permitted to speak thrice.
-Given to Celegorm by Orome, himself.
-Could bore people on his back like a steed (example = Luthien escaping).
-He was swift and tireless
-Slew wolves by the dozen
-Slew Draugluin (Lord and sire of the werewolves)
-Defeated Thu(Wolf-Sauron, Sauron in werewolf form)
-Protected Beren and Luthien from the vengeance of Celegorm and Curufin(example = catching an arrow with his mouth, keeping them at bay)
-Slew Carcharoth – The Red Maw(Raised by Morgoth himself), even though he perished also which was his fate:He could only die, after he encountered the mightiest wolf that would ever walk the world.
All in all, he was a huge factor in the recovery of one Silmaril.

But no wizardry nor spell, neither fang nor venom, nor devil’s art nor beast-strength, could overthrow Huan of Valinor.

Sauron shifted shape, from wolf to serpent, and from monster to his own accustomed form, but he could not elude the grip of Huan.
