Moved from article:

• this entry needs to cite sources as there is no indication in the Histories of Middle-earth that the werewolves could not change form or that they were Maiar. When they are first mentioned in The War of the Jewels, they are grouped with Orcs in the Hosts of Melkor, giving the implication that they were lesser beings and 'made' rather than fallen or lesser Maiar such as Balrogs.
