Druedain king- The Druedain also known as the Drugs, Drughu, Woses, Wild Men on the Forest and Pukel-men. ( I am sorry I do not have all the accent things on my keyboard so bare with me) Were a strange race of Men the lived in the Druadan Forest by the third age. They were counted amongst the Edain.

The Druedain developed a close relationship with the Folk of Haleth, the Edain that inhabited that forest region. The Druedain lived among the Second House of Men, the Haladin, in the First Age in the forest of Brethil. There were also a number of the Druedain present in Numenor, though they had left or died out before the Akallabeth, as had the Pukel-men of Dunharrow. At the end of the Third Age, the Drug still lived in the Druadan Forest of the White Mountains, and on the long cape of Andrast west of Gondor. The region north of Andrast was still known as Druwaith Iaur.

The Woses of Ghan-Buri-Ghan held off Orcs with poisoned arrows and were vital in securing the aid of theRohirrim in the Battle of Pelennor Fields. After the War of the Ring Kinf Aragorn II Elassar granted the Druadan Forest "forever" to them in the Fourth Age, promising that no man would enter their forests without the leave of the Druedain.



 They were an alien folk to the other Men: a bit like Dwarves  in stature and endurance, stumpy, clumsy-limbed (with short, thick legs, and fat, "gnarled" arms), had broad chests, fat bellies, and heavy buttocks. 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 hatred of Orcs. Their characteristics may have originated in the First Age   People who didn't know them very well may have thought that Morgoth may have captured some men as they did with the elves and bred Orcs from their stock leading to the conclusion that the Druedain could have possibly been Men that escaped, but were more deformed but not very Orc-like. Evidence for this is that both they and Orcs consider each other renegades. They were known to have certain magical powers and to be still in meditation for long periods of time.
