The SIlmarillion expands the world of The Lord of the Rings and includes some of Tolkien's strongest villains. Sauron, Morgoth and Ancalagon all are famous Middle-Earth villains, but Carcharoth, the Red Maw, was also incredibly powerful. Carcharoth was the mightiest wolf ever to walk the earth, and his ability to transform pain into power made him capable of withstanding and harnessing the energy of a Silmaril.
Carcharoth may have been even stronger than Sauron or Ancalagon when it comes to raw physical durability. While Sauron was cunning, and Ancalagon massive, Carcharoth could absorb energy and pain and become more powerful. While the Silmaril was in his stomach, Carcharoth was even a match for Huan, who was far more powerful than Sauron in the FIrst Age.
The Silmarillion contains Tolkien's most profound stories and most powerful characters. Carcharoth's insane power would have proven too much to overcome had he still been alive during the time of The Lord of the Rings. He may be one of the strongest fantasy characters, and certainly the strongest fantasy wolf.
