The dreadful glutan (S.Glauron pl. Glauryn) was found thoughout northwestern Endor, but the largest concentration of the creatures was undoubtedly in western Minhiriath in Eriador. A wolverine-like creature, it was one of the most fearsome predators in Middle-earth. It was a solitary, dark-furred beast shaped like a large badger. The glutan was unbelievably quick and fierce, and appeared to be quite insane. They had been known to attack large groups of armed men without the slightest provocation, fighting to the death even if escape was easily available.
