Do Balrogs Have Wings?

[Lalwendë]

narfforc wins the cash, the girl and the erm...speedboat (that'll come in handy for getting to Sunderland Point then, eh?), because what Gimli says is:

'I cannot,' said Gimli. 'But I am glad that the shadow came no nearer. I liked it not at all. Too much it reminded me of the shadow in Moria--the shadow of the Balrog,' he ended in a whisper.

Thus showing that wings are clearly a subliminal ancestral message of our descent from the treetops when still homo erectus or summat or other and loom large in our imaginings and likewise in those of Dwarves which proves they're analgous to the human species and, and ......... Oh, basically that Gimli is a big girl and he's afraid of his memory of a big scary shadow that looked like it had wings.
