Fell Beasts

The Fell Beasts of northern Mordor are now used as flying steeds of the Ringwraiths, in place of their fallen horses. Three Ringwraiths who ride Fell Beasts, including the Witch-king, can be recruited as Heroes of the Mordor faction.

Lore
From birth, these creatures were raised by Sauron on foul meats and grew to become weapons of war. After their defeat at the Ford of Bruinen, the Nazgul were given the Fell Beasts as new, personal mounts to replace their horses. Whether scanning the lands below or swooping down upon an unsuspecting foe, these evil creatures will stop at nothing to regain the Ring.

Gameplay
Fell Beasts swoop down upon enemies, causing crush damage to infantry and heavy damage to siege units. Like all flying creatures, they are quite vulnerable to archers.

Abilities
The Witch-king has additional abilities.
 * Screech: The Nazgul riding it releases an unearthly shriek, sending all nearby foes fleeing in in terror. 10 second duration; 120 second recharge.
