Nazgul Picture

[TrunksGT]

If anyone knows where i can get a picture of a Nazgul, it would be greatly appreciated.

Go to the Tolkien Trail homepage www.tolkientrail.com (http://www.tolkientrail.com) and look for a link to 25 HOBBITS. Look at the top 25 sites there and you will find plenty that feature some great artwork. Browse through these, and you will not only enjoy the view, but you'll find lot's of what you're looking for.

Here is another link that I found that has a lot of very good pictures:

Happy Nazgul Hunting!

Welcome to the board! :)

If you're satisfied with a tiny facial portrait, you can use the nice icon http://www.tolkientrail.com/images/nazgul1.gif

So Nazghuls are dragon type things? I play a MUD (don't know if you heard of it or not) that made me think that they were demonic beings with no physical existence, kind of like an outline or an aura...

[dunedain lady]

Dragons? No! Their steeds are giant carrion birds which are sometimes depicted resembling dragons, but the Nazgul are, like you said, beings with no real physical being. They wear cloaks which give them shape, but are just shadows with eyes and a crown, the way I picture them. Frodo seemed to see them more concretely as vaguely humanoid demons when he had the ring on.

[Grand Admiral Reese]

The Nazgul were Men, at one time. But now they're wraiths, invisible, shapeless(in our realm)creatures. To give them shape, they wear black robes. They often ride on dragon-like things(after their black horses were killed, that is).

They can be "seen", though, if you are wearing the One Ring(or one of their Rings, I suppose). If they had a shape, it would be that of a Man. But now all you can see of them is their glowing red eyes.

I finished The Hobbit a while ago, and i'm about 1/5 through The Fellowship Of The Ring, not to be a spoiler or anything, but from what I've heard it sounds like black riders are nazghuls, is this correct?

[Morkhon]

Damn, you guessed it.

[arynetrek]

nazgul as dragons? aack, we dragons have enough problems without being confused with nazgul.

[TrunksGT]

I thought they were dragons because I went to a site with an art gallery and looked at a picture that was labeled "Nazghul", and had a woman fighting a large dragon-type creature.

[Gilthalion]

"READ THE BOOKS YOU NINNYHAMMER!" shrieked the little hobbit indignantly!

[Shanamir Duntak]

Indeed... Well, let just say the Nazgul in the picture you saw is the rider of the beast you see the woman fighting

[Grand Admiral Reese]

That's just one of the Nazgul beasts. The actual Ringwraith is the rider on it. :)

[arynetrek]

thank you, little hobbit

[Bullroarer]

Yeah, READ MY BOOKS, Paul!

[Soul of the Nazghul]

*Sigh* Guess I'll have to read them...

[Shanamir Duntak]

Well, you know, you'll probably enjoy reading them! :p

[Soul of the Nazghul]

HOOHAHAHAHA!

[Morkhon]

Thought I might mention this, but Nazgul is spelled wrong in your name.

[Shanamir Duntak]

He knows, Ben told him in another thread...

[Soul of the Nazghul]

*Twitches* I know its wrong! But I don't care!!! *Twitches*

[Gilthalion]

For some reason, this thread had no link on the forum page.

Is it just me, or do we have another one of these secret links on our hands. It wasn't linkless before...

[Eruve]

Ben's been having some fun playing with our heads. Seems the lastest EZBoard upgrade permits editing thread titles, and Ben's been taking advantage of his powers as admin...

[Jochen Deyke]

Somewhay fitting, considering the subject...

Indeed it is. I'll have to have some fun with this feature on my boards... ;)

[arynetrek]

so is the link coming back, or is Ben trying to create more spinoff threads on "how the heck do you get in here?"

:lol:

[Shanamir Duntak]

Maybe Ben's losing his head with the thread losing theirs??? :p

[Aragorn II Elessar]

I'we found the missing link.. ;)

[noldo]

Mind you stop, Ben? ;)

[bmilder]

???

[RovingTurtle]

Hey Aragorn is that picture the one from the game "Hammer of the Gods"???

[Darth Tater]

Ok, I just thought of something extrememly sacreligious, and I'm gonna share it with you :p

As bad as thinking the Nazg(h)ul are dragons is, has anyone seen the animated movie "Return of the King"? The Nazgul in that, well, let's just say if Tolkien had been alive to see it it probably would have killed him.

[GlaurungTheGold]

What, you mean the Nazgul aren't guys on black Pegasuses (Pegasi?) and a Halloween skull mask on who smell really bad and sound like the Wicked Witch of the West?

[Darth Tater]

Pegasi? :rollin:
