Murinallas

Murinallas is a fictional species featured in the novel "The Silmarillion" by J.R.R. Tolkien. They are a race of bird-like creatures known for their keen eyesight and ability to fly. Unlike many other beings in Tolkien's legendarium, the Murinallas are not described in great detail, and their origins and precise nature remain somewhat mysterious. They are often associated with the mountainous regions of Middle-earth and are depicted as living in high aeries. Their role in the grand narratives of Middle-earth is minor, appearing in passing mentions rather than as central characters or forces. Tolkien's work often includes such peripheral beings to enrich the world and suggest a wider tapestry of life beyond the main events. Information about Murinallas is primarily found in appendices and scattered references within "The Silmarillion," offering glimpses into a less explored aspect of his created world. Their existence contributes to the overall sense of a diverse and ancient natural order within Tolkien's mythology.
