Do Balrogs have swings? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Does the Balrog Ring give them the ability to grow wings at the drop of a wizards hat.

Swings if heatproof. Actually, how do they walk on the ground without sinking into it? And they have a King, practically, called Melkor. Perhaps wedding rings, if they enter monogamous relationships, but this raises the question: Do Balrogs have flings?

They are said to have whips, so I would think it might be a particularly kinky kind of flings.

Ah, but do Balrogs have things?

Yours, Lalwende, digging deep and murky holes since 1970.

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.

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.

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.

Do Balrogs have dreams?
Yes. And I have seen them! Frodo I have seen them!
