Dangerous maybe - like balrogs - but not so special.

I was just thinking that when you encounter creatures witch inflicets so much damage, then it would only be natural to try and figuere out ways to kill them.

And as i said earlyer thy saw how well the dwarves armour worked (compared to others) then why not try to copy it ?

But as you say they might have just thought: oh another monster!
