Hasufel

Hasufel was a large dark grey horse, originally belonging to Gárulf.
== History==
When Gárulf was killed in battle, the horse served Éomer and his éored. When the éored encountered Aragorn's party, Éomer gave Hasufel to Aragorn in compensation for the presumed deaths of Merry and Pippin.The Lord of the Rings, The Two Towers, Book Three, Chapter II: "The Riders of Rohan"
He rode it across much of the plains of Rohan, but the horse fled along with Arod when an old man (most likely Saruman) came to the three hunters' camping place to spy on them. After escaping, Hasufel and Arod met with Shadowfax. All three eventually returned when Gandalf summoned them, and he gave Hasufel and Arod back to their respective owners.The Lord of the Rings, The Two Towers, Book Three, Chapter V: "The White Rider"
Hasufel accompanied Aragorn throughout his journeys, but was superseded by Roheryn, Aragorn's own horse, just prior to the passage of the Paths of the Dead.The Lord of the Rings, The Return of the King, Book Five, Chapter II: "The Passing of the Grey Company"
==Etymology ==
In Old English, Hasufel means "dark skin".
==In adaptations==
In the film The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002), Hasufel is a chestnut color.
In The Lord of the Rings Online, Arod and Hasufel, led by Shadowfax, appear in a mission in which the player has to stop Mordor orcs from stealing Black Horses of Rohan.
