dragons

I would hazard a guess that they don't fit .In the sense that JRRT never [as far as I know , and i stand ready to be corrected] explained the Nature of their hroar and fea . Maia [balrogs ? ] breeding w/ dinosaurs [forgive these evil suggestions] may be the only explanation , but I think JRRT said earlier that only species that were biolgically compatible to start w/ could do this. However if melian could take on a Humanoid form to wed Thingol then I suppose Balrogs could perform an evil counterpart to it.
