Druedain

The Drúedain, also known as Woses, Wild Men of the Woods or Púkel-men, were a strange race of Men that lived in the Drúadan Forest and Drúwaith Iaur by the late Third Age. They were counted among the Edain.
== History ==
In the First Age, the Drúedain developed a close relationship with the Folk of Haleth, the Edain that inhabited the forest of Brethil. The Drúedain lived among the Second House of Men, the Haladin, in the First Age in that forest region. In the Second Age, there were also a number of the Drúedain present in Númenor, though they had left or died out before the Akallabêth, as had the Púkel-men of Dunharrow. At the end of the Third Age, the Drûg still lived in the Drúadan Forest of the White Mountains, and on the long cape of Andrast west of Gondor. The region north of Andrast was still known as Drúwaith Iaur, or "Old Drûg land".
The Woses of Ghân-buri-Ghân warded off an army of Orcs roaming in Anórien with poisoned arrows, and were vital in aiding the Rohirrim before the Battle of the Pelennor Fields. After the War of the Ring, King Aragorn II Elessar officially granted to them the Drúadan Forest "forever", promising that no man should enter that forest without their leave.
== Physical characteristics ==
They were a alien folk to the other Men: resembling Dwarves in stature and endurance, stumpy, clumsy-limbed (with short, thick legs, and fat, "gnarled" arms). According to the Elves and other Men, they had "unlovely faces": wide, flat, and expressionless with deep-set black eyes that glowed red when angered. They had "horny" brows, flat noses, wide mouths, and sparse, lanky hair. They had no hair lower than the eyebrows, except for a few men who had a tail of black hair on the chin. They were short-lived and had a deep dislike of Orcs.
