Да, но ведь создания, на которых летали Назгулы, тоже имели драконьи корни (даже если они не были официальными драконами). Так же, как, скажем, наш комодо.

Я, честно говоря, остерегся бы проводить параллели между неведомой зверушкой, на которой летал назгул, и драконом.

It was a winged creature: if bird, then greater than all other birds, and it was naked, and neither quill nor feather did it bear, and its vast pinions were as webs of hide between horned fingers; and it stank. 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.

Непонятная летающая фигня без оперения - это всё, что нам известно об этом виде транспорта. Оно еще и воняло страшно.
