They are the Nazgul - or Ringwraiths.
They were once Kings of Men but were brought under the power of the one ring by Sauron and enslaved in living death. They became his servants....

they are alike to the dementors but not alike. they are alike in the fact that they both feed off of concepts. the ringwraiths feed off the power of there leader and the presence of the ring, and the dementors feed off of others emotions. both of them also rely on other senses besides sight. but the ringwraiths are much more powerful than the dementors and also they are numbered. there are only nine of them. they were great lords and kings of numenor which was an island nation once in great renknown. from the descendents of numenor came gondor. but they were enslaved as many people have already answered by the nine rings of men. they are not living nor are they dead. they exist in a world of shadows. the one that is the most powerful is called the witch king of angmar and if you read the appendices of the books you will learn more about them. but when the power of the ring failed, they were destroyed.

I even have the excellent sequence from Simarillion to LotR, and the encylipedias, Unfinished thoughts, etc. the movies have been kinda so-in an attempt to me. countless the casting replaced into stunning (hi Viggo!) and the gadgets, cosutmes and outcomes have been mind-blowing. yet i did no longer like countless the screwing around with plots components, particularly together as there replaced into no genuine reason on the lower back of it. social gathering: Pippin replaced into made out to be an fool for loads of the movies, yet he manages to fool between the oldest creatures on center Earth (Treebeard) with a plan a three twelve months previous ought to desire to make particular by using using.

They are called the Nazgul or 'RingWraiths' They used to be the Nine Human kings who were given rings of power. Unknown to them, the rings came from Sauron and one, by one, the nine fell into darkness and became undead slaves to Sauron who are constantly drawn to the power of the Ring of Power.

They were once great Kings of Men, but Sauron gave them nine rings of power which slowly corrupted their souls, turning them into Nazgul, or Ring-Wraiths. They are evil servants of Sauron. They can see Frodo even when he is wearing the ring, because they are drawn to it and can sense its presence. They are twenty times more powerful and evil than Dementors.
