![]() ![]() Set: The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-Earth. Flying creatures that were used by the Nazgûl as steeds during the later parts of the War of the Ring. Then if you control nine or more Wraiths, Wraiths you control have base power and toughness 9/9 until end of turn. Whenever you cast an instant or sorcery spell, create a 3/3 black Wraith creature token with menace. These terrifying creatures are definitely hard to forget. Wraiths you control have protection from Ring-bearers. Wherever that is, there’s one place that they are definitely going, and that’s into the minds of anyone who watches the films. But as Gandalf also said, "There are terrible things in the dark places of this world," and it’s hard to tell where they came from. Fans have been coming up with theories to explain things, or add context or depth to Middle Earth for years now, such as Boromir being corrupted by the blood of Sauron from the blade of Narsil, or the famously misconstrued “Fly, you fools,” line spoken by Gandalf. Or maybe they were disturbed and rose out of their hole in wrath and anger when some ancient, unsuspecting culture dug too deep and became too greedy, as all peoples of Middle Earth tend to do at some point.Įither way, with such a world so packed with complex lore and history, many of these things are difficult to provide a concrete answer to. Alternatively, perhaps Sauron himself wanted to try his hand at creation, after he got a taste for it with the creation of the rings of power. Sauron may then have brought one of the eggs across with him after the fall of his master. Melkor, Sauron’s former master, was the being who first created the dragons, so it is possible that he also created the Fell Beasts in his experiments of trying to make sentient life. ![]() Most wraiths and other corrupted beings have transferred over to the shadow realm, and no longer exist as a physical being, but are rather a sort of spirit, tethered to earthy things by Sauron’s will alone (like the Witch King himself). But this only lessens their chances of being corrupted eagles. The Fell Beasts are definitely grounded in the real world, very physical, visceral beings, with piercing shrieks and powerful claws, and as can be seen when Eowyn cuts off the head of one, they are possible to kill. Many fans argue that they are more akin to the dragons of Middle Earth than the Eagles, and that even with the torturing and cruelty that Sauron is capable of, it would be difficult to change their anatomy so far that they don’t even slightly resemble the original creatures they sprung from. They have the fleshy, leathery wings of a bat, as opposed to the feathery wings of a bird though, and have short muzzles full of sharp teeth, rather than beaks. This theory is difficult to prove or disprove, but the Fell Beasts have no known resemblances to the Giant Eagles, other than their size and the fact that they can fly. ![]()
