Drugs are worth a second look
I don't know about anyone else but I think that the Dru-folk are pretty cool. In Unfinished Tales it says that they can transfer their power to stone statues in their likeness, and overall I think they should have been talked about more in the books what does everyone else think?

I took your word for it, read the bit about them in Unfinished Tales, and yes, it was worth it.

You might also find an essay in Suite101.com by Michael Martinez of interest. The article is called
"The Middle-earth Mysteries" Author: Michael Martinez Published on: May 19, 2000 (excerpt) "Part of the joy of reading about Middle-earth is finding out more about some obscure dude or tribe long after they show up somewhere else in the "canon". Take the Druedain, the Woses as they are called in The Lord of the Rings. When you read the book for the first time, they just sort of show up and lead the Rohirrim around an army of Orcs and Easterlings. Do they have a point other than to move the story forward? 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."

That thread title threw me for a loop.
Yes, the woses are very cool. By some tales they had abilities that the rest of humanity lost.

Indeed, I agree; Woses rock! In fact, I think I opened a thread about them a while ago, asking where I can read more information. Very cool, indeed.
