Missing Fell Beast? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Has anyone noticed that in the Battle at the Black Gate, only 7 Fell Beasts are seen? Eowyn killed the Witch-King's Fell Beast, but there's one other missing. I'm hoping that Gondorian Longbowmen shot it down.

I wonder if the one Faramir shot in Osgiliath ended up dying. Possibility? Or Sauron kept one back as a personal guard to his tower

Oh yeah, yet another way for the invincible named characters to take the action away from the rank-and-file.

ah ha!

This ties in with my post the other day defending (somewhat) jackson having Frodo show the Ring to the Nazgul and fell beast at Osgiliath.

I surmised that the reason Sauron does not find out that a Hobbit has the Ring in Osgiliath is that Faramir shot down the fell beast and it's Rider was therfore riderless and unable to quickly return to Mordor to inform Sauron of the news.

This ties in with 7 nazgul at the black gate.

He did, but I'm talking about the movies, where just about all of the secondary characters (like Beregond) were eliminated.
