Ghân-buri-Ghân is the leader of the Woses, an ancient primitive people of which few remained in the Druadan Forest. They are often called the Wild Men of the Woods. Ghân-buri-Ghân aided King Theoden as he was trying to make his way to Gondor. He showed the riders of Theoden a short cut through the forest which allowed the army to arrive in time at the Battle of the Pelennor Fields. After the War of the Ring, the Woses were rewarded for their help and they received the Druadan Forest as their country.
