Lord of the Rings Radagast the Brown

Radagast the Brown was one of five Wizards sent to Middle-earth to contest the will of Sauron. Originally a Maia of Yavanna, Radagast mainly concerned himself with the well-being of the plant and animal worlds, and thus did not participate heavily in the War of the Ring.

He was known for his lore in herbs and animals, and was renowned as a master of shapes and changes of hew. At the urging of Yavanna, Saruman the White took him as a companion to Middle-earth, where he dwelt for some time in Rhosgobel, on the eastern eaves of Greenwood the Great. There, he befriended the skin-changer Beorn, who visited him often and described him as "not as bad as wizards go".
