Soon after, Tolkien introduced the eagles into "The Hobbit" and "The Lord of the Rings", repeating in the latter some plot elements and names present in older writings. In several early texts Tolkien wrote that, before moving to Crissaegrim after the death of Fingolfin, the eagles of Thorondor nested upon the peaks of Thangorodrim above Morgoth's fortress of Angband; Christopher Tolkien assumes that this idea was later abandoned.

The first scenario for an animated motion-picture of "The Lord of the Rings" proposed to Tolkien in 1957 was turned down because of several cardinal deviations, among which Humphrey Carpenter recorded that "virtually all walking was dispensed with in the story and the Company of the Ring were transported everywhere on the backs of eagles".

The phrase "spirits in the shape of hawks and eagles" in "The Silmarillion" derives from that stage of writing. After the completion of "The Lord of the Rings", Tolkien moved toward a more carefully defined "system" of creatures, with few if any exceptions: For some time Tolkien considered the Eagles as bird-shaped Maiar; however, later he realised that the statement
