God-Emperor of Eternity
This whole "hitting the ground so hard lava spews out" is just a trope. I think a character strong enough to do that would have to pierce at least, what, thousands of kilometers of Earth's crust? Morgoth hitting the ground that hard would have caused a veritable extinction event.

Fingolfin would crush Cenarius in combat.His weaker niece Galadrial was capable of levelling castles by herself. He wields an enchanted sword. When he got angry, Morgoth's entire army, numbering in the hundreds of thousands, ran from him in fear. He parried strikes from Morgoth, who could create craters deep enough that lava spewed out, and was capable of harming him with his strikes. It took several blows from Morgoth to even put Fingolfin down, and even then, Fingolfin still withstood what was described as the weight of a hill on his chest long enough to cut off Morgoth's foot.
Fingolfin would murder Cenarius, and would beat Grom even easier.
Besides, Grom had an army of Orcs at his back when he took Cenarius on.
Maybe. Cenarius is a bit of a pussy.
So? Thrall could level whole keeps as well and an all-in, charged attack from him merely made a tiny scratch on Mannoroth's wing. Mannoroth would steamroll Galadriel. Oh, and did she need her Ring to level castles?
Enchanted sword? Oh, big ****ing deal.
Of course they ran. Evil in Tolkien's work is usually depicted as petty and craven(especially when faced with awesome righteousness). They could have zerged Finglofin, but chose to piss off instead.
All Grom needs is to land a good hit on Fingolfin and it's GG. Not saying that he would necessarily get that hit in, of course, but if he does, elf boy is toast.
