Balrog

A Balrog ("demon of might") is a corrupted Maia from the Lord of the Rings continuum. It is an ancient, evil fire-demon, and only the most powerful can stand against it (for example, Glorfindel and Gandalf).

There have been Sues who slay Balrogs, and even Sues who are Balrogs (sweet, kind, misjudged Balrogs). Neither of these are at all likely. Balrogs are dangerous. Many Sues have been fed to the Balrog that lived in the Mines of Moria, however.

Controversy
It has long been debated among Tolkien fanatics whether or not Balrogs have wings. This is due mostly to a line in The Fellowship of the Ring that describes wing-like formations of shadow surrounding the Balrog in the Mines of Moria.

The wargaming minatures company Games Workshop makes a Balrog model which has a pair of wings for its licensed Lord of the Rings game, but this obviously cannot be considered even remotely Canon.

Unfortunately, unless Tolkien himself one day rises from the grave and declares one way or another what he meant, the debate is likely to continue until the end of time.

Mini-Balrogs
Mini-Balrogs are just like their Middle-earth counterparts, only about one-twentieth of the size and somewhat less dangerous; at the least, not guaranteed to try to kill their owners, or agents would not use them as pets.
