what is it that the nazgul ride ?
is it some type of giant bird ? or a small dragon, or winged lizard-like creature ? does it even have a name ? i tried searching the encyclopidia of arda, but didnt really find anything.

It doens't give a name. They are juat winged beasts. And rather large at that.

Nobody knows B/C nobody could approach them.
Or if somebody knows, they aren't important in the LotR books.

I would go with the dragon creatures. They most likely bread them to bear the Nazgul just like those horses were bread specialy for them. When the horses failed them at the ford they must have replaced them with the dragons.

Like Aldagrim here put, I go with the description in the books. I imagine them as big, ugly, featherless birds.

I mostly agree with The Fifth, large, featherless birds...Or some kind of flying
dinosaur... I am sure you know the painting by John Howe, "Nazgul returning to Barad-Dur": his painting of the flying steed comes very close to my imagination.
