This has been a debate for some time considering that Tolkien never actually tells us that a Balrog has wings but he uses words to make it seem so. So what do you think on the matter? Did Balrogs have wings or not?
DarkC, that doesn't necessarily prove balrogs have wings. It's just the artist's interpretation of a balrog.
As for my reply to this question: Balrogs did not have wings and then did have wings.
Click Here for the reasoning, its pretty good.

simply because they are mair doesnt mean they have wings - thats the stupidist thing i have ever read, thats like saying you have topay taxes if your a zebra!
Well my interpretation of the Balrog (in the movies) came down to YES they did have wings HOWEVER they were so darn heavy they didn't use them.
Discos - PS: thats a sweet picture of the Balrog dude. which character from the Sil is the great balrog facing? Beren? (I must read up on the Sil again, come to think of it its been 2 years since i last read it)
