Description

From the skies above Mordor... into your own backyard.

Summoned from Tolkien’s most shadowed imaginings, the Fell Beast™ was the terrifying, winged mount of the Nazgûl — swift, skeletal, and steeped in fear. This silhouette captures that dread in steel: wings extended, head coiled, ready to strike.

Part of the Metalbird x Wētā Workshop collaboration, this piece was designed in Aotearoa with concept artists from the Lord of the Rings films and brought to life in weathering Corten® steel. It’s a unique fusion of dark fantasy and outdoor sculpture — made to provoke awe in any setting.

Perfect for Middle-earth superfans or those building their own backyard Mordor, the Fell Beast™ is a powerful tribute to the dark side of Tolkien’s world.

Let the darkness descend—in just a few taps.

1. Pick your terrain – Trees, stumps, fences, or posts with height and drama work best.
2. Hold the stake at a downward angle – This ensures strength and stability.
3. Tap the thickest part of the stake using a hammer or mallet until securely anchored.
4. Step back and behold – Your Fell Beast now surveys its new domain.

Crafted from Corten® steel, your beast will weather into a battle-worn patina—rugged, elemental, and here to stay.
