Don't believe the poster. I've also seen that movie' date=' and while it is strange, [i']Red Sun[/i] is one of the best westerns I've ever seen.

 

Toshiro Mifune rocks!

 

Of course, wierd does not necessarily equal bad. It seemed pretty good. But, it was wierd.

Well' date=' I wouldnt mind seeing the Planeteers as food for the Nazgul flying mount things (I cant remember their name at the moment).:eg:[/quote']

 

I don't think they had one.

 

They were just referred to as the Flying Beasts. Tolkien never did reveal anything else about them.

Tolkien also described them as 'fell beasts', but that is a description, not a name. He did reveal the following, however:

In book V, chapter 6 "The Battle of the Pelennor Fields" in The Lord of the Rings, Tolkien describes it:

"[...] it was a winged creature: if bird, then greater than all other birds, and it was naked, and neither quill nor feather did it bear, and its vast pinions were as webs of hide between horned fingers; and it stank. A creature of an older world maybe it was [...]" Seems to be a Pterasaur or something similar.

Fell Beast was the name used for them in MERP. The Decipher game called them something like death hawks. Pterasaur would work for it, although I would originally used a wyvern, mainly because the cartoon made it look like a dragon.
