The son of Beorn, and natural leader of the Beornings, Grimbeorn is a tall and burly woodsman who dwells in the Carrock between the Misty Mountains and Mirkwood. Just as his father before him, Grimbeorn possesses the ability to transform into a large bear at will, unleashing primal fury upon the Orcs and Goblins that dare to enter his lands. When the forces of Sauron invaded Mirkwood, he led the Beornings against them, using their unbridled power to break their enemies.

Grimbeorn is a dynamo on the table. In the form of a (very large) man, this Hero of Valour is a powerful warrior, fighting at range and up close. This fierce woodsman wields his huge axe to cut his enemies to size like so much cordwood. When needs must, he can transform into his bear form, amplifying his damage-dealing potential even further. He and the Beornings can be taken as a Legendary Legion, or added as an ally to a variety of aligned Good factions, as detailed in his rules.
