was peace in the realm of Thingol. The Naugrim would come

ever and anon over the mountains and visit Menegroth and go
in traffick about the land, though they went seldom to the Falas,
for they hated the sound of the Sea and feared to look on it; but
otherwise there came to Beleriand no rumour or tidings of the
world without. But it came to pass that the Dwarves were
troubled, and they spoke to King Thingol, saying that the Valar
had not rooted out utterly the evils of the North, and now the
remnant, having long multiplied in the dark, were coming forth
once more and roaming far and wide. 'There are fell beasts,'
said they, 'in the land east of the mountains, and the dark-elves
that dwell there, your ancient kindred, are flying from the plains
to the hills.'

$26. And ere long (in the year 1330 according to the annals
that were made in Doriath) the evil creatures came even to
Beleriand, over passes in the mountains, or up from the south
through the dark forests. Wolves there were, or creatures that
walked in wolf-shapes, and other fell beings of shadow.

pour le were-bear, je n'adhère pas vraiment à votre théorie, ici j'appuyais plus sur les Loups-Garous (Were-wolf d'ISENGAR...), je pense comme certains que c'est Faërie et que Tolkien a aimé certains personnages du même type dans les oeuvres sus-citées plus haut (Hrolfr Kraki et Beowulf...) c'est tout pour ma Théorie
