Or maybe Beorn was the name given to the leader of the Beornings of every generation. So the Beorn in the Hobbit could have been... (this is just an example) the 25th 'Beorn' in the line of their race. I seriously think that Beorn was just another character in The Hobbit and Tolkien in order to please avid readers and fans, had to come up with a suitable conclusion to the 'Beorn saga.' in the Lord of the Rings. Although of course, Tolkien's answers do tend to give rise to even more questions. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Perhaps Beorn was just a very good playa :P
