Draegers

Draegers is a fictional species that appears in the fantasy novel "The Lord of the Rings" by J.R.R. Tolkien. They are depicted as monstrous creatures, often associated with the dark lord Sauron and his forces. Draegers are described as being large, serpentine beings with leathery wings, sharp claws, and a fearsome appearance. Their primary role in the narrative is as aerial steeds for the Nazgûl, Sauron's most terrifying servants. These winged beasts are capable of flight and are used to scout enemy positions and attack unsuspecting travelers.

The exact origins and nature of Draegers are not fully detailed in Tolkien's work, leaving room for interpretation. They are generally understood to be unnatural creations, possibly born from corrupted or mutated creatures from Middle-earth's ancient past. Their presence evokes a sense of dread and peril, highlighting the overwhelming power and malevolence of Sauron's forces. In the story, encounters with Draegers are rare but highly dangerous, emphasizing their role as instruments of terror in Sauron's war against the free peoples of Middle-earth. Their terrifying screeches and imposing silhouettes are often a harbinger of doom for those who face them.
