So... Here is a few ideas:
1. Nature's wrath... Does this mean that enemy would loose the fellbeast because knocked to the ground?
2. Charge with S7 monster. Dragon is not purely a monstrous mount, so i am not sure if he can knock a fellbeast down, but i assume so? And also shelob can? What about trolls, can they do anything specific to fellbeast?
3. Archering. If i am right, cavalry cannot aid their horses/monstrous mounts. So, just 3 shot with arrow and bb fellbeast... This should be incredible easy, considering how vicible these fellbeasts are -> everyone sees to shoot them?
4. Is it in general easier to kill the fellbeast than the rider?
1. Yes but it's unlikely for a fell beast to be knocked down by nature's wrath, since their riders have lots of will to resist and might to boost a failed roll.
2: a monster can just throw the rider away.
3: doable, but not easy. The archers have to hit first, then hit the beast rather than the rider, then wound on 6 (5+ for crossbows). It's possible for armies like the Grey company, but even an average player will never expose the fellbeast too much.
4: it depends on who the attackers and the rider are. Once I trapped one and got in with a piercing striking Dain Ironfoot, so I aimed at the rider (Shadowlord). As a rule of thumb, S3 and S4 models without bonus should try to get rid of the best (as should anyone else if the rider is the undying).
