Skin-changers

Skin-changers
 / Skin-changer
   Magical shape-changing beings.
   Creatures who could take different forms at will. Little is known of their abilities; the only skin-changers identified by Tolkien were Beorn and his descendants (who could take the shape of a Man or of a bear), but evidently other skin-changers existed.
