Do Balrogs have swings? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

The ears of Morgoth will melt. Do Balrogs have sings*? I would think not, if they did, Melkor would have destroyed them at a very early stage.

*An example of a Serious Cat sentence?

I mean if they have flings that must mean not all balrogs live up to the aesthetic standard expected of their angelic order.

Or other balrogs find them less hot (baboom ch!)

Oddwen · 04-09-2007, 08:18 AM

Are they merely puppets of the current dark lord, or are they capable of independent actions?

And who currently has the skill to weave such strings of control?

The Might · 04-09-2007, 09:53 AM

Ok, they most definitely have some sore of SPRINGS
If they have no wings, how should they survive a fall all the way to the bottom of Moria's pits?
Plus, it's a great way to have fun in Angband by jumping around

but when they reached the bottom of the pit wouldn't it just spring back to the top?

You should word it more gently; we aren't sure, but balrogs may have feelings.

The Might · 04-09-2007, 04:19 PM

Do they have important meetings?
Love Tolkien's teachings?
Do they ever receive greetings?

I doubt it...poor balrogs

Rikae · 04-09-2007, 04:25 PM

The poor Balrogs indeed. Wandering through middle earth without rest; does anyone know if Balrogs have dwellings, or even lodgings?

And a more important question, perhaps, to the dwarves who had to clean Moria after the war; do Balrogs have droppings?

Old Balrog is a-sneezing,
he also was a-retching,
set his house ablazing,
for his lack of aiming.

That would need a little correction of Brinniel's (otherwise wonderful) picture, though we'd first have to prove whether balrogs even have ears first.

Well, I cannot prove whether balrogs have ears (and if I tried we might be here forever), so we'll just have to make do with what we have.

Anyways, assuming that Balrog ears in fact do exist and pretending they are somewhere located below the horns, I made a correction to my photo just for you.

Also, jumping to The Might's idea of spring, I decided to give our Balrog a pretty little flower.

This has me wondering. If a balrog went to Runza, would he order Frings? Or would he prefer to go somewhere else for some buffalo wings?

Elmo · 11-27-2007, 04:50 AM

whatever was his yearning...
