Sauron, later on, called back the Nazgul when he sensed Frodo in Mount Doom.The Lord of the Rings is full of powerful forces, creatures, and beings. Gwaihir attacked the flying creatures with the help of the Great Eagles. The fell beasts appeared in the last scene during the Battle of the Black Gates. But she killed Nazgul with the help of Meriadoc Brandybuck. After the beast dropped dead, Nazgul charged at her. Eowyn, Theoden’s niece, who was fighting in the battle as Dernhelm, took off her guise and cut off the head of the fell beast. He attacked King Theoden and injured him. During the Battle of the Pelennor Fields, the corrupt king and slave to Sauron, King of Angmar, was on the battlefield, riding his fell beast. He used his staff to emit a white light that drove them away from the retreating force. Gandalf rescued Faramir from the Nazgul riders. While on his way to Minas Tirith, a group of Nazgul riders on their fell beasts attacked the group from above. After failing to do so, he escaped from the battlefields, accompanied by the surviving two-third of his men. The captain of the army of Gondor, Faramir, was sent on a suicide mission to reacquire Osgiliath. Gandalf, upon hearing this, changed the battle plans and asked the Rohirrim to gather at Dunharrow to prevent the attack in an open field. He claimed that the monstrous beast passed Edoras and hovered over Meduseld. He was taking Frodo Baggins and Samwise Gamgee to Mount Doom (to destroy the One Ring) at the time and they had to take an alternative route through the marshes to get inside Mordor.Ī Fellbeast was mentioned once again, by a lord of Harrowdale. Gollum referred to the fell beast as “wraiths on wings” when he came across one in the Dead Marshes. The creature took a hit, screeched harshly, and flew away towards the east. Legolas used the Lorien bow to shoot an arrow at the creature. The fellowship had departed from Lothlorien and was resting by the shores at the time. But as the Nazgul riders attempted the same feat, Arwen summoned a flood in the language of Quenya, to destroy the nine Nazguls in pursuit.Īcknowledged by the Fellowship as “a great winged creature, blacker than the pits in the night”, the Fellbeast made an appearance, mounted by a Ringwraith, on the edge of the western side of river Anduin. When the pair reached Bruinen, they crossed the river effortlessly. Upon being chased, she led the group to the river of Bruinen. Arwen was carrying a poisoned Frodo Baggins to Rivendell in her steed. But the horses were destroyed by a flood ( Elrond’s intervention during a pursuit of Frodo) when the Nine Nazgul riders reached Ford of Bruinen, close to Rivendell. The Nazgul initially rode on black horses when they first started their hunt for the One Ring. Thus, giving fuel to the flame, and creating the confusion that fell beasts are Nazgul. Furthermore, in a scene from The Return of the King, a Ringwraith says to Theoden, “Do not come between the Nazgul and his prey”, while a fell beast was about to eat Theoden’s injured horse. The confusion arose from video games, where the name Nazgul have been used to identify a Ringwraith on his fell beast as a unit. Fell beasts are often misrecognized as Nazgul. It was the readers who had decided to identify the mounts of Ringwraiths as fell beasts. Example: “Fell light in his eyes” or “Fell meats”. He also used the word to Fell multiple times as an adjective. Tolkien did not use the fell beast to identify the ghastly flying creatures, but simply to describe its nature as a fierce animal. In modern-day English, the lost word Fell has been brought back through Tolkien’s novels. The word Fell, in Middle English, means frightful, vicious, dreadful, or fierce. Fell beast: French “fel” meaning Dreadful or terrible, and “beast” meaning animal or creature.
