How do you evoke "terror" in a visual image?

You make a good point. Still, the Balrog must have looked like
something. My ideal picture of a Balrog would be one in which the physical outlines of the creature were vague, in which shadowy-like "wings" are depicted without giving the unmistakeable impression of real, physical, bat-like wings, more a mass of fire and shadow than a clearly physical being, and yet with a man-like (though perhaps monstrous) figure at the center.
But that's just me.
