In briefanswer capsule

The fell beast was a winged, featherless mount of the Nazgûl. After the fighting on the Pelennor Fields its carcass lay where it had fallen; the horses of those who approached would not come near it. Later the remains were burned on the field, while the fallen of the king’s household were laid apart from both their enemies and the creature.
