What is it about Balrogs that so fascinates people? You'd think they could get enough about Balrogs from Tolkien's books. Unfortunately, some people think they know more about Balrogs than J.R.R. Tolkien. There are some really stupid Balrog essays out there on the Web. It seemed time to set the record straight, so I have collected a few links to sites that either contain good information on Balrogs or at least point you to other trustworthy sites with information about Balrogs.

10. About Balrogs

Balrogs are mythical creatures but they come from more than one mythology. It looks like a few ignorant people have done a pretty good job of misrepresenting the whole Tolkien legendarium. It's more than one mythology. That should be obvious to anyone who has read the books. It's a shame people have to tamper with the truth. So, good luck exploring the Web. You'll find some good info out there and some bad info. Can you tell the difference?
