Note the "in the land" part. Tolkien, though he may have admired dragons, prefered Balrogs. When it comes to this matter, you can't just consider LOTR, it may be a biased book (no offense meant at all!!). Granted, all books are biased, but use other references to figure this out! Dragons still rock. And if they breathe ice, couldn't they just freeze the balrog, then send it crashing off a cliff so that it shatters into a million pieces and is dead?
Ok, so I know this isn't supportive of my side but, did Gandalf kill the Balrog he took on or not? Or did he just follow it up the stairs?
