| Jul 4, 2019 at 0:14 | comment | added | Andres F. | @nicolallias I wouldn't draw any conclusion from the videogames, especially not Shadow of Mordor/War. They have little to do in tone with Tolkien's legendarium (not arguing about their quality as games, by the way). | |

| Jul 3, 2019 at 19:26 | comment | added | OrangeDog | @Aegon that fits exactly “lost their horses”. It’s got nothing to do with your idea. | |
| Jul 3, 2019 at 18:52 | comment | added | Amarth | @OrangeDog It could be interpreted in two ways. Unhorsed, in the context of combat or tourneys, means defeated by getting knocked down from your horse. Not necessarily that the horse died. | |
| Jul 3, 2019 at 16:27 | comment | added | OrangeDog | @Amarth incorrect. Unhorsed means they lost their horses. See the accepted answer. | |
| Jul 3, 2019 at 15:01 | comment | added | Amarth | @Aegon Tolkien isn't specific about that, but as wraiths I'm not sure if they even have much of physical form. From the Witchking's stand-off with Gandalf: "The Black Rider flung back his hood, and behold! he had a kingly crown; and yet upon no head visible was it set. The red fires shone between it and the mantled shoulders vast and dark. From a mouth unseen there came a deadly laughter." | |

Adding nazgul tag, since this question is specifically about them

| Jul 2, 2019 at 18:48 | comment | added | Aegon | @Amarth Is it ju'st their spirit that teleports in that manner? Or their very selves? Do they just sort of "die" (For want of a better word) whenever they fail a task given by the Darklord? | |

| Jul 2, 2019 at 16:12 | comment | added | nicolallias | Another point of view (inconsistent): recent videogame shadow of war show ringwraiths teleporting like crazy. | |
| Jul 2, 2019 at 16:06 | comment | added | Amarth | When the Nazgul are defeated, their spirits return to Barad Dur where they must recover for some time, a month or so. I believe this is what "unhorsed" refers to. | |
