Shadowfox descends from Felaróf, of the race of the Fuhsazas, the greatest vulpens of Middle-earth. Shadowfox can run faster than the wind … which means his speed is variable based on weather conditions. Though the Rohirrim attempted to tame him, he was too wily and independent. Today, he is mostly seen walking beside younger foxes, whispering wisdom and lies into their ears, hoping that, in time, he will find a partner worthy of his magnificence.
