Another idea: Do balrogs have slings? Oh, now I see it. Revelation! Do you know what was the name of the balrog in Moria? We know about Gothmog, but this one remained nameless for too long. Now it is clear. His name was David! (and this also answers the question, whether balrogs have Kings... not the card ones) P.S. This also maybe provides some light to the topic of Giants in Middle-Earth and explains why Gandalf was speaking about looking for a decent Giant to shut the Goblin cave. For this is a line dropped by J.R.R.T. from the original draft of the Two Towers: "Many are my names in many countries: Mithrandir among the Elves, Tharkűn to the Dwarves, Goliath to the Giants."
