Fairly often too.
I wonder if that's part of the power that Melkor gave them? That Six or Seven Ages later questions about the nature of Balrogs would have the power to reduce normally reasonable and rational individuals into vicious, bloodthirsty savages locked in mortal combat until there is nothing to be seen except a vast desolate wasteland piled high with the bodies of the slain.
Have I seen the like happen before, you ask?

(Not to imply that nasty and bloody mortal combat is going on here or anything like that. Not at all.)
