Azoth, why not Stinger or Stung then? Wouldn’t that solve the alternative meaning issue?

Fair point. I suppose I'm partly going with my "gut instinct", which maybe isn't the best way to play a game like this online.
I'm okay with guessing MOUTH if the rest of the team favours it.

We don't have to account for this line of thinking. Even if Planetary originally indicated Moon+Strike, we clearly indicated our intent to treat it as Moon+Dwarf, and so we have to expect that pindicator accounted for that and clued the other two words last.

Besides, Moon + Strike would be Crater.

I can see the logic for Strike, but I think the logic for Mouth is stronger. Sunrise, I think you're the deciding vote, go for Mouth if you like it.

I’m like 65/35 in favor, so let’s do this.

Obviously a SHADOW KNIGHT. Right?

A Nazgûl is from Mordor, the Land of SHADOW.

They do ride on horses, so if you stretch a fair bit, they're KNIGHTs, just without any pretension of chivalry (or even guilds).

If you stretch even more, they're Sauron's elite STRIKE force.

There's nothing else.  It's almost certainly the first two.

There are three words that stand out here as a Nazgul is a KNIGHT from the land of SHADOW (Mordor) that can STRIKE its prey.

Of those, SHADOW has to correct as there are better ways of pairing the other two words. I think that KNIGHT is a better link than STRIKE.

Sorry, team, I was offline all day. SHADOW + KNIGHT, I think.

We're certainly agreed on:
