According to some folklore, they may shift into an animal or another guise through divine intervention or inherently superhuman ability. The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion illustrate some of these supernatural abilities that are often dismissed due to the lack of comprehensive explanation. The Lord of the Ring series does not include the character of Sauron , but The Silmarillion portrays him as the Lord of Werewolves that can transform into a form of a werewolf or serpent.
He shifts into the appearance of a werewolf when he fights with Huan. Click to expand The Valar are not limited to only one form. They can shift from one shape to another. They can be invisible or may dress themselves to make appearances of male or female beings. But most frequently, they prefer to shift into forms like the children of Illuvatar.
Therefore, the Valar may walk, if they will, unclad, and then even the Eldar cannot perceive them, though they may be present. But when they desire to clothe themselves the Valar take upon them forms some as of male and some as female.
There are speculations that Maiar , who is the less powerful version of The Valar, has the same ability to shift their form.
No facts point out that Maiar is different creatures from The Valar. The eradication of the skin-changers was made up for the film. The "Beornings" were led by a son of Beorn during the War of the Ring, when they helped Aragorn cross the Anduin while tracking Gollum. After the war, the elves gave them part of Mirkwood to live in.

Beorn later accompanied Gandalf and Bilbo on their return journey as far as his home, where he allowed the two to stay over the winter. In the years following the Battle of Five Armies, Beorn became a great chieftain among the folk of the Anduin Vales and his followers became known as the Beornings.
At some point he became the father of Grimbeorn , later known as Grimbeorn the Old. Before the War of the Ring , Beorn passed away, [3] and his son Grimbeorn took over his duties as chieftain. The name Beorn originates from an Old English term that means "warrior". Despite being incredibly powerful, Beorn respected all life forms, with the exceptions of Goblins and Wargs, due to their malevolent and destructive tendencies. He had a magic-like effect on his animals, who seem more intelligent and strong than other animals.
He kept bee pastures and spent his nights patrolling the woods and mountains in the form of a bear. He was wise and powerful, possessing incredible strength and durability, to the point that Azog did not risk facing him even with his band despite his target, Thorin and company, being so close. He was fairly decent, allowing Thorin and Company to stay at his home for a short while, offering sanctuary from the Goblins.
Beorn was also vengeful; when Thorin was fatally wounded in battle Beorn stormed the goblin ranks, rescues Thorin and then returns, destroying the goblins and killing Bolg himself. His appearance in the films is quite different than his description in the book and portrayals in other media. In the films, he has greyish-brown hair, a forked beard, shackles on his left arm, and a mane of hair growing as a ridge down the length of his back.
Beorn mentioned his fellow Shape Shifters , who once lived in the mountains before Azog the Defiler came down from the north and killed or enslaved many of his people for sport. Beorn escaped the terrible fate of his kin explaining the shackles on his arm , and claims that he is the last of his kind. He gives them horses to reach Mirkwood and provides escort to protect them from roaming Orcs. Beorn appears to be aware of the dark presence in Dol Guldur as he knows of an alliance between the Orcs of Moria and the Necromancer , whom he calls the Sorcerer, in Dol Guldur.
Packs of Orcs have been seen gathering in the fortress with their numbers increasing every day.
