K.D.G - I zipped over to the Encyclopedia of Arda, to see if there were other names listed for the "fell beasts", and they don't even have an entry for them. (???)

I suppose they regard the term as just a descriptive phrase, and not as an actual "name". And "Google" only lists "fell beast" in reference to LoTR gaming, through there is a reference to a "fell beast" in Dante's Inferno as well.

I guess they're just a good, ol' garden variety Nameless Horror.
