Beinos

Beinos is a fictional location that appears in the fantasy novel "The Hobbit" by J.R.R. Tolkien. It is described as a region or settlement inhabited by a group of people known as Beornings. The Beornings are a distinct race of men who possess the ability to shapeshift into bears. They are fiercely independent and live a solitary life, primarily dwelling in the lands west of the Misty Mountains and north of Mirkwood.

The most prominent Beorning character is Beorn himself, a powerful and formidable individual who plays a crucial role in aiding Bilbo Baggins and the company of dwarves on their journey to the Lonely Mountain. Beorn is known for his immense strength, his deep connection to nature, and his distrust of dwarves, though he eventually offers his assistance. The Beornings are depicted as strong warriors and skilled herdsmen, living in large wooden houses. They are guardians of the wild lands and are generally hostile towards goblins and wargs. The Beinos region is characterized by its wild and untamed nature, reflecting the character of its inhabitants.
