huge ass demon with wings that are either metaphorical wings of shadow, literal wings of shadow, or firey wings, depending on how you read it

you know gandalf

so imagine if gandalf got the ring

well maybe not the ring

was he even there for the morgoth thing, i dont think he was

whatever, maiar shit

but if he decided "hey fuck all you nerds, this melkor guy seems pretty swell" it'd be something like that

since maiar are basically slightly more proactive angels, sort of, if there's an equivalent

You know the bit where Gandalf goes YOUU SHALL NOT PASS and then it drags him off the bridge when he breaks it?

that guy

@Squid: given how well-regarded gandalf was it was almost certain he was there for the war of wrath yeah

well

"gandalf" wasn't but that's because gandalf as in the "hey be wizards and don't fight sauron directly we don't want to fuck things up even worse" didn't exist yet but olorin definitely did

but yeah that is basically what a balrog is

a fallen maiar, which are basically angels of the choir that sung the universe into existence

hence my joke a while back about the legendarium being the world's biggest musical

@Jam: okay so

Basically Tolkien deliberately keeps it somewhat vague

They do have a body, but... I'm not going to get into the terminology because that'll just be confusing but Balrogs are beings of spirit

In Lord of the Rings, as you express yourself in the world, you expend your power, and unless you're god you have a limited power of course

Balrogs poured all of this into "I AM DEATH METAL POWER ITSELF", thus somewhat limiting their forms

But they're still amorphous spirit things

Physical appearance: Basically what I've described in the RP

A vast shadow in which fire dwells (and deeper shadow)

Of man-shape maybe, but greater

They are large, but definitely not so large as presented in the movie

Shadow and flame

I made the gif to share with you guys, then decided I might as well publish it to Imgur and see how it goes. It's got Lego, Doctor Who and Portal, so it's got that going for it.

What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?

heights are a complete non-issue for Cloud

and an uncanny knack for surviving absurdly high falls anyway

I just find it amusing that

completely unintentionally, as a result of an organic battle plan

we are now reenacting gandalf's battle with a balrog

complete with falling off a cliff and dragging others with it

by complete coincidence

incredible
