Here in Sweden we have a floorball team in the highest division calling themselves Balrog...
By the way, you could almost refer to LotR as a true mythology. Tolkien borrowed some ingredients in the story from real mythology and folklore. Some celtic stories and a lot of norse folklore interested him. For example: Gandalf is the name of a dwarf in Snorres edda, an old poetic Icelandic tale and Frodo exists in an other story too (canīt remember were tough).
Of course, most of Middle Earth comes from Tolkienīs own excellent fantasy, but some parts are based on "true" stories.
