Did all of the 💀Nazgul have flying beasts?

They all had flying steeds. But i have another speculation...

Someone said earlier that they were all bound to the Rings fate, but if I die on Pelenor, how is this possible?

Weve established the fact that they all have winged steeds, but i dont think this is true... If the mightiest of Nazgul can be killed, surely the others can...
 
The Nazgul were indeed Bound to the fate of the Rings in that if the One was destroyed then the rest would lose their power and the Nazgul would cease to exist. However, this did not mean that the Nazgul could not be killed in other ways.

In the case of the Lord of the Nazgul it was foretold that "Not by the Hand of Man Would he be destroyed" and So it was. A Hobbit with an sword of the North-kingdom and a woman were needed to do the job.

Had the One Ring not been destroyed then the ring of the Witch-King could have been given to another Man and there would once more have been 9
 

Is that so ? I always assumed he was "killed" in the same way as Sauron was "killed" by Elendil and Gil-galad. Right he's dead won't see him for another thousand years good work lady of Rohan Ringwraiths are tough to take out. However given an age or maybe less he'd be back to serve his dark master - because the Nine are tied up with the fate of the one. He was only destroyed when the ring was destroyed.
Hardly matters really.
 
Not quite the same thing. Sauron was a powerful Maia and when he made the One Ring he placed in it much of his native power. This meant that while the One existed it held that power and even if his phyical form was destroyed the power would still be there for him to draw on.

In the case of the Nazgul they were Men and the rings gave to them power that they did not possess before. When their bodies were destroyed they would die. It is just that it was very difficult to kill them.
