* In the {{Tolkien}} Legendrum, readers frequently interpret the role of Radagast the Brown as a spymaster for the Istari and White Council. His gimmick being that he would use animals (such as birds) as his eyes and ears. He is also said to be a master of shapes and hues, possibly indicating that he is a MasterOfDisguise. This is frequently offered as a proposed reason for Radagasts overall reclusiveness and seeming inactivity during the War of the Ring as opposed to Gandalf's conspicuous involvemnt and Saruman's treachery. Tolkien appeared to be inconclusive regarding his original claim that Radagast failed in his mission (he really only says that "Only Gandalf stayed true to his original mission" and it is a given that Saruman can definitely be said to have failed). Gandalf's high respect for Radagast does not seem to mesh with the any notions that Radagast was neglecting his task. Readers tend to speculate that Radagast may have been doing the job for which he was sent and that not all of the Wizards were intended to employ the same methods or even neccecarily work openly or together. Radagast is occasionally credited with the unexpected appearances of the Eagles in various instances, as well as the Thrush who delivered Bilbo's message to Bard in ''TheHobbit''. As a spymaster, Radagast would understandably be very low key and indirect by neccessity.

* In the {{Tolkien}} Legendrum, Radagast the Brown is widely believed to be a spymaster for the Istari and White Council. His gimmick being that he would use animals (such as birds) as his eyes and ears. He is also said to be a master of shapes and hues, possibly indicating that he is a MasterOfDisguise. This is frequently offered as a proposed reason for Radagasts overall reclusiveness and seeming inactivity during the War of the Ring as opposed to Gandalf's conspicuous involvemnt and Saruman's treachery. Tolkien appeared to change his mind at least once regarding his original claim that Radagast failed in his mission (but not anywhere as badly as Saruman who betrayed his misson). Readers tend to speculate that Radagast may have been doing the job that he was sent to to and that not all of the Wizards were intended to used the same methods. Radagast is occasionally credited with the unexpected appearances of the Eagles in various instances, as well as the Thrush who delivered Bilbo's message to Bard in TheHobbit. As a spymaster, Radagast would understandably be very low key by neccessity.
