What happened to 🧙Radagast after 👁️Sauron fell?

[Vorondil]

Did he go into the west, or did he eventually just lose his marbles?

 

[Eljorahir]

I think it would be consistent with his character traits if he stayed in Middle-earth as a hippy/hermit/artist living in the forest with his animal friends...happily ever after till the end of his days.

 

[Erestor Arcamen]

This part from Unfinished Tales always made me think he “failed” since he didn’t fight for men and elves as much but mainly spent his time in nature.

Indeed, of all the Istari, one only remained faithful, and he was the last-comer. For Radagast, the fourth, became enamoured of the many beasts and birds that dwelt in Middle-earth, and forsook Elves and Men, and spent his days among the wild creatures. Thus he got his name (which is in the tongue of Nmenor of old, and signifies, it is said, "tender of beasts").

I always assumed it meant he stayed in Middle Earth or was probably killed by Saruman. He obviously didn’t turn to evil like Saruman did though so maybe he was allowed back in Valinor (if he chose to go) eventually.

Here’s a few more threads on TTF that might have some good discussions about him and his fate.
