Notes:

This idea came from the beautifully-crafted chessboard we can briefly see at Beorn's house.

Radagast was added because Gandalf briefly says in the book that Radagast and Beorn know each other and apparently get along quite well together, so the Skinchanger could have played chess with the Brown Wizard during his occasional visits. Moreover, I found quite funny the association of the movie versions of these character given how different they are (grumpy, stern Beorn and cloud-cuckoolander Radagast) while having some things in common since both are hermits who love animals. Speaking about animals, I added Radagast giant rabbits, a normal-sized rabbit, Sebastian the hedgehog and some little white mice, I like to think the one on Beorn's shoulder is the one he grabs in the movie.

Disclaimer: I don't own The Hobbit, it belongs to Tolkien and Jackson and I'm not paid for this.
