They might... in lakes of fire... and it was more the directional qualities than the medium that was the issue...

Negative. For directional control underwater they'd need some sort of fins at the back end, wouldn't they? Er...never mind.

Are you suggesting penguins have fins on that logic? I think we know that at least one Finn has penguins...

You've just proven my case. Penguins and Finns have a known affinity. Finns and Balrogs? Not so much.

After my experience of some Werewolf games I don't think that holds water. Besides the Finns invented saunas. They must be creatures of fire.

When I think on it, maybe Balrogs having wings isn't so far fetched. After all, Band On the Run was a pretty good song.

But Mull of Kintyre was dreadful (we are showing our age dreadfully Inzi darling). I will argue the toss indefinitely that Balrogs had wings conceding only that they might be of shadow and not enable flight... but bagpipes are truly the work of Melkor* save that for love of Tevildo he would not so torture a cat,

*I'll make and exception for Highland Cathedral music which stirs the soul even for one such as I with not a drop of Scots blood.
