He's the only one Tolkien wrote of. Which is not to say that Beorn's the only one in Middle Earth. Since Tolkien put him in, he set the precedent (speaking as an active rpg'er ). Skin-changers are part of the stuff of Nordic folklore and legend, too. Beorn lives rather far north in Middle Earth. And I agree on the fish from the Anduin as probably being a source of food, though Tolkien doesn't mention it.
