Re: Of Bombadillos and Balrogs

If their were wings though, and huge ones they must be if they strectched wall to wall, why couldn't those huge wings have lifted both the Balrog AND Gandalf out of the chasm. Also, why would the Balrogs take form as devilish winged creatures, when all others of their kind (maiar and valar) chose forms at least possibly human or elf (including the evil ones like Morgoth and Sauron) As I've stated before, I think that Balrogs are pretty much REALLY evil looking human-type creatures (kinda like the Istari, but evil looking instead of sage-like)
