All Good Beasts

While Elves and Men get a lot of attention in fanfiction, sometimes we neglect some The Silmarillion’s greatest supporting actors: animals! Whether a heroic beast like Huan, who slays the lord of werewolves and earns nearly as much screen time as his master Celegorm, Fingolfin’s great warhorse Rochallor, or someone’s unrecorded pet rabbit, animals have an important place in The Silmarillion and in the lives of its characters.

This month, write a story featuring an animal. Show how important a beloved animal is to a character or tell a story through the eyes of one.

Browse through a list of Middle Earth’s animals for inspiration.
