The Nazgûl , also called the Ring Wraiths, are characters from J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings books and films. They are referred to as the evil Sauron’s most terrible servants, but were originally nine men who succumbed to the power of Sauron. After this, they attained near immortality and took on the form of wraiths. The Nazgûl were led by their leader, known as the Black Captain or the Witch King of Angmar. Any character from the LOTR trilogy makes a great costume idea for either Halloween or Cosplay.
