But when the eagles take on the nazgul in the battle at the end it's the eagles who come out on top.
The nazgul are supposed to be these invincible, immortal terminator types, but every time anyone stands up to them they wimp out. On Weathertop Aragorn routs five of them with nothing more than a flaming torch- and they run off with their nightshirts on fire.
And earlier one of them turns back at the Brandywine when the hobbits are within his grasp for no better reason than that his horse doesn't want to get its hooves wet.
