Re: Balrogs DO have wings!!!

The question remains why the Balrog did not just fly away from Gandalf as they were falling. In my opinion the Balrog may have had wings, but not very well used for flying. He could only 'Glide', and ue his wings like birds of prey to beat his opponents with. Also if you are on fire all the time I guess you would get quite hot, so they could fan himself. <img src=laugh.gif ALT=":lol">
