Does the Balrog have wings? Why didn't it fly when Gandalf broke the bridge??? "You shall not pass"

...What? This is the Mirth forum! ![]() That aside (but for the record, I don't think the Balrog had wings), I don't think the orcs would have gathered many plants and shoots - they don't seem to be the ones for a veggie diet.

But point taken. Perhaps my perception of orcs has been influenced too much by the movies.

As for Húrin, if that's the Man you have in mind, I don't think he ate while imprisoned. Morgoth seems to have had him in some sort of stasis: he couldn't move, or even die, so lack of food shouldn't have been an issue. Quote:

So your suggesting Balrogs are related to penguins? That would be a major contribution to global warming!!!

I personally agree about Hurin - I don't think Morgoth sent him food. I don't think he even sent anyone to check on him. He knew exactly what was up with him, and didn't want to ruin the effect of utter solitude and helplessness. But that's a side topic. You know, at one point in my life I thought the former. But as soon as I thought that thought, I realized that was so disgusting I would rather have Beren go about as a vegetarian. ![]() But other orcs eating orcs isn't at all foreign-sounding (and even canonical to the extent of possibility). If there was famine in Moria for whatever reason... ![]()
