[Thenamir]

Thinking about the Fell Creature and its filthy brethren - why didn't Sauron mass produce these puppies, man them with whatever (men from Harad or Dunland, with Orcs for "bombs"), and thus create Middle Earth's first real airforce (a stray dragon or balrog does not an airforce make - we're talking wads of 'em). Think of the effect on Minas Tirith had a thousand of these things kamikazied into the city with incendiary devices, courtesy of Saruman and his newfangled blasting powder. Sauron, for all his Dark Power (tm), was, in the final analysis, a boogerhead concerning tactics.
