Re: Balrogs DO have wings!!! Not.

In the first age neither Dragon nor balrog had wings. Morgoth then decided that they should so he started on the dragons and when he finished with them he moved on to the balrogs he got some done before he was attacked so some had wings and some didn't. When the army knew that they were losing Durin's bain fled. How? He had wings and flew away!But some men or elves followed him and shot at him with arrows. Say one of them hits his wing he stumbles wearily to the ground and makes as best speed as he can and runs for the misty mountains which are close at hand. He finds a hole into the very deeps of the mountains and crumbles the passage-way so that no-one can follow him. Then he sleeps like a dragon at the deeps of the mountains until the dwarves awaken him he gets up and realises that the arrow that pierced him was from valinor and he could no longer use his wings BUT he still had them. This is merely my point of view at what happened with little real fact. I think this is the explaination of why the first age balrogs had no wings and the LoTR did not. Thanks for reading!

"He turned to Eldarion, and gave into his hands the winged crown of Gondor and the sceptre of Arnor, and bade him farewell."</p>
