Do Balrogs have springs?

A spring could be a substitute for a wing - perhaps the reason Wings were never explicitly discribed was that it was assumed everyone knew they had metallic coils on the bottoms of their feet. It would explain any Balrogs seen in the air.

Plus, they could be hunted and harvested for a fine bumper crop of mattresses.

Thumbs up Do Balrogs have... Beornings?

They are so powerful, they surely have servants... why not Beornings?

It would put a whole new twist on the risks of smoking in bed.

Pipe Do Balrogs have stings?

Just in case those fiery whips prove too easy to drop. Perhaps a sting would come in useful for seeing off pesky Elves and Wizards who insist on trying to drop them from high places.

Burning swings, on the other hand, if sufficiently robust, can give up to fifteen minutes of rock concert / municipal playground fusion before disintegrating.

If you want to further analyze it...

My question is:

Do Balrogs have bling? Because if they do have flings, that could be one of the explanations why..

After all, everyone knows bling bling can be quite irresistable...

Brinniel - Possibly, but I do not think so. Still, my latest research indicates that the well dressed Balrog never leaves home until he has adorned himself with several 14-karat nose rings....

Hmm...ok then..

Well, I felt the need to make a visual representation of our Balrog, and so far I have this:
