Beorn was a strange creature. He originated from the old human settlers of the Misty Mountains and came from there to the valley of the Anduin, where he lived alone with his numerous pets, which served him. He had the skill to turn into a bear with enormous strength. Where this skill came from is not known.
Beorn didn't eat any meat, but a lot of honey (which isn't surprising considering his bear nature). Though mostly crabby and reclusive he sheltered the company of dwarves, which he first trusted not at all.
