Do Balrogs have wings? What Color is Legolas's Hair? What is Tom Bombadil? Entwives? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

<sigh>, ye have opened quite a can of worms, child. Balrogs, in my opinion, probably did have wings, no matter how much I'd like them too. It requires far to much speculation and chance to say they have wings even though they drop from the sky all over the place. Legolas might'va had dark hair, as do the majority of the Elves, but I'll always picture him with blonde. Tom Bombadil is one of the most mysterious characters in LOTR. Some believe him to be Tolkien himself, others that he is a represention of the vanishing English countryside or something. I think he might be a lost Maia or something but have nothing to prove it other than my opinion. Entwives might have all become "sleepy" or been destroyed in a war. I do not know. But I can see a flame war brewing about the Balrogs...(yes, that was a dumb pun [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img])
