Feel free to bash me, smash me, or just counter my argument, but this is what I believe...

Balrogs have wings, true, as seen in the Bridge of Khazad-dum. But don't you think that this Balrog, after being cooped up in the mountains for two ages, lost his ability to fly? Sure, Khazad-dum would be a pretty huge city for dwarves, but it doesn't have enough space for a gigantic Balrog to fly. His wing "muscle"(or whatever was it that made the wing move) deteriorated, hence, he couldn't use it as he fell throught the chasm...

And then I counter myself: What about Glorfindel's foe? He(she...it...whatever the gender was) didn't fly?

Wala lang!
