Fell Beasts

The article states that the "Fell Beasts" ridden by the Nazgul were bred in Utumno. I don't think this is backed up by the text - in LOTR, they have the following origin story :

''A creature of an older world maybe it was, whose kind, lingering in forgotten mountains cold beneath the Moon, outstayed their day, and in hideous eyrie bred this last untimely brood, apt to evil. And the Dark Lord took it, and nursed it with fell meats, until it grew beyond the measure of all other things that fly; and he gave it to his servant to be his steed.''
