Caran-Carach (S."Red Fang") was a descendant of Draugluin. He helped guard the fortress of Dol Guldur, the home of the Necromancer (Sauron in the mid-Third Age). Fed the remains of the Evil One's prisoners, this hideous beast learned to savor live flesh. He was later let loose to hunt prominent the Wood-elves and Wood-men of southern Mirkwood.
