Did the Balrog have wings?? PJ assumed that the monster did, but Tolkien does not state in any of his works that the Maiar spirit had any. What do you think, and can you back this up with evidence? |

IF they could fly then they are very retarded. Seen as on 2 occasions(that I can think of) Balrogs were slain by being knocked off cliffs. |

lmao...i always called u carlos...lmao...sry man... they have wings....thats true...but they cannot fly with them...and like ppl said...he fell down khazad dum and could have flown bak up...he wasnt really hurt... but there is always the chance that there was no room to spread his massive wings out...or maybe gandalf was assaulting hiw too hard for him to fly away...
