The WK is not taking the Ring for himself. Sauron during the time period has been back for not even 1,000 years. As LOTR and the Hobbit show, Sauron suffered a major defeat and his strength is slow to grow.

So don't think of the WK as taking the ring for himself, but that Sauron is pouring every ounce of strength into his servant to take up the One Ring and use it in the mean time while Sauron gains more of his old power back.

I am sorry but WK will never ride a dragon he never did in the books so I don't see the team implementing this at all.

He did ride some bat-like creature in the Lord of the Rings and cold drakes/ cold dragons are much alike them (also black, don't breath fire, probably have the same model but weren't really used since the last version of Edain including goblins). So him being able to breed/ controll such a creature would be much closer to the lore then many other ring concepts in my opinion. Doesn't have to be one that breathes fire or something else. And if it his him who breeds/ awakens the Dragon or Sauron doesn't really matter in my opinion.

steadii:
Agreed with Halbarad.
Well, Angmar faction is whole fiction because we have little references from lore and nothing from movies, but WK riding ice dragon is pretty realistic. On the north there are such dragons or at least their bones. He is actually lich king/arthas or night king of Middle-earth. He is dead "witch" king who can reanimated death. Also Angmar would have at least one flying unit like Mordor and Misty Mountains. And one ring would have purpose - ring dominates the will of others so why not dominate some dead dragon for war purpose?

Elendils Cousin 3. Grades:
If anything, these other fictional characters are the Witch-King of their stories, not the other way around...

Reviving a dead dragon is pretty far from anything we know from the lore. We also have absolutely zero cases of anybody ever riding a dragon, because they aren't simple tamed beasts for transportation like in many other stories. The bat-like creatures are not dragons, as you've pointed out already, and they were bred specifically to fulfill their purpose of transporting the Nine, as far as we know.

Giving the WK an undead dragon (or any dragon, for that matter) to ride on won't happen.

dkbluewizard2:
Well we know that the WK flew on a fellbeast during the WOTR, but I believe the reason why the ET has WK on horse is because in the books, he rides on his horse away from Glorfindel. I don't believe it ever states that he rode a fellbeast at Angmar.

Also the argument about fliers--what fliers do any of the Good factions have? Eagles are small summon just like Radagast.
