	The Middle-earth Mysteries
		Yes and no. They are there to give the Rohirrim a viable passage around the blocking force, and the purpose of the blocking force is to show the reader that Sauron is so powerful he can lob armies all over the map.
		But the Druedain also serve to remind the reader that Middle-earth is filled with all sorts of strange and mysterious creatures.
		These were a fourth tribe associated with the Edain, not numbered among the "houses" of the Edain, but nonetheless given access to Numenor as a reward for their service and suffering in Beleriand.

		The Druedain still has access to these Forces, however, if the Golem is destroyed the Druedain takes damage equal to the body hits he would lose permanently if he had lost the Forces (and assuming that the attributes lost all came from his Strength).
		A Druedain may use the Corporeal Song of Sacrifice on an Orc to regain those Disadvantages; if he does so he is indistinguishable from an orc, and the orc appears to be a Druedain.
		If a dying Druedain can be persuaded to use the Song on the Orc, and then goes to Heaven while the Song is still in effect, the Disadvantages are destroyed by the Light of Heaven.

	The Druédain in the Third Age\| Lord of the Rings Fanatics Library (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		This is the tale of the Druedain, or the Woses as they later became known as.
		They too were allowed to come to Numenor, but not all of them heeded the council, and when evil awakened in the Western realm of men, they returned to Middle-Earth one by one.
		On the night between the thirteenth and the fourteenth of March, when Theoden's force were passing by the lands of the Druedain, Ghan-Buri-Ghan, the leader of the Woses at this time, requested to see the King.

		Tolkien himself commented that the Druedain ability to transfer "part of their `powers' to their artefacts remind one in miniature of Sauron's transference of power to the foundations of Barad-dur and to the Ruling Ring", so we can't assume that _only_ they could ever create such watch-stones.
		We know that the Druedain were among the least prone of the Atani to evil (and with the most intense hatred of Orcs), so the thought that they taught their arts to the Enemy seems absurd.
		The arts of the Druedain were, to the best of my knowledge, entirely their own, so Sauron would have to do _complete_ reverse engineering to work out how to bend them to his purposes.

		They resembled the Druedain, or Woses, who lived in the White Mountains in the First Age until they were driven out by the wicked Men of the Mountains.
		It was believed that the Druedain transferred some of their own power into the watch-stones.
		Later, when Merry saw Ghan-buri-Ghan - the leader of the Druedain in the Druadan Forest - he was reminded of the Pukel-men.

		The Druedain were taller, and of heavier and stronger build.
		Their facial features were unlovely (judged by general human standards); and while head hair of Hobbits was abundant (but close and curly) the Druedain had only sparse and lank hair on their heads, and none at all on their legs and feet.
		They were at times merry and gay, like Hobbits, but they had a grimmer side to their nature and could be sardonic and ruthless; and they had, or were credited with, strange or magical powers.

	Entmoot - Hobbits
		I've reread the essay on the Druedain in Unfinished Tales.
		See also the section "Further notes on the Druedain", first paragraph, which notes how JRRT took great pains to emphasize the differences between the two.
		Yes, hobbits are a branch of the human race, according to Tolkien and, no, they are not Druedain (or closel related to them).

	Migrations of Men
		A small tribe unknown to most, the Druedain contributed much to the defence of the Crossings of Teiglin and safety of the Folk of Brethil.
		The main settlement of Druedain was east of Beleriand near the Ered Nimrais - in the Druwaith Iaur and Druedan Forest.
		The surviving Druedain of the War of Wrath eventually left Numenor to rejoin their kin.

	Entmoot - The Watch Stone od the Druedain?
		The story is intended to explain the origin of the statues Merry passed on his way to Dunharrow (Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli also saw them).
		The Druedain made statues in their own shapes, and apparently on special occasions they could become animate so as to complete a special purpose.
		That is, after the maker died, maybe the statue simply became a statue, incapable of becoming animate again.

		The Druedain were an ancient people that dwindled in the Third Age.
		You said that he's the last of the Druedain people, but at the end of Return of the King, Aragorn exclaims to the drumming persons in the wood that the land is returned to Ghan-buri-Ghan and all his people.
		druedain are classified just like the easterlings and the haradrim(aka the men of the south that aided mordor in their seige of minas tirith)

		The Druedain had at one time lived throughout the White Mountains, but they were driven out by evil Men.
		By the time Gondor was founded at the end of the Second Age, the Druedain survived only in the Druadan Forest and in the mountainous region called Druwaith Iaur which included Andrast.
		It lay west of the River Lefnui, which was the western border of Gondor.

	3 Houses of Men? - SF-Fandom
		Given what is told of them, I simply can\'t picture the Druedain building Dunharrow or its access road themselves, nor the Dunharrow-folk using their statues in such a fashion if there was not friendhip between the two peoples, just as with their respective cousins in Beleriand.
		In note 7 to “The Druedain” in UT, it was noted that “few” Haladin, with very few Druedain friends, went to Numenor, so the Haladin represented a tiny minority that presumably was soon subsumed into the other nations.
		Given that the Druedain were repelled by the growing Shadow over Numenor, and were motivated to emigrate back to the mainland before Sauron/Zigur came, in their own way they seem inclined toward the "faithful" Numenoreans, even if their own concept of or relations with the Valar and the High Elves is never explained.

		The origins of the Druedain are touched on in the same sub-chapter as that of Hobbits in HoME,V12.
		Also, in Unfinished Tales, the Druedain are constantly referred to in relation with OTHER MEN.

		Silivren-Gul: I think it's pretty clear that the Druedain of the First Age are atencedents of those in Pukel Land and the Old Forest in the SEcond and Third Ages.
		One wonders whther the druedain of the third age were still making statues.
		I thought wildmen and druedain were one and the same

		The woses or Druedain, were counted in the Edain.
		The Edain can be classified as only those who hlepd the Elves, so the Beorians, Hadorians and the Halethians and I think the Druedain.

	Rotten Tomatoes Forums - What's a "Druedain"??
		If this is your first visit, be sure to check out the FAQ.
		The Druedain (plural; singular Druadan from drughu-adan, Drughu-men), or Wood-Woses as Tolkien translates it, are the descendants of Men who inhabited the Forest at the Gondor edge of Rohan since long before the Numenoreans came.
		There's a whole chapter about them in Unfinished Tales, and they give the Rohirrim passage through their land in ROTK (book), allowing them to reach Gondor in time and outflank some of Sauron's forces which have the road staked out.
