Attalus, falling to its doom down a big chasm, just goes to show you, that wings (no matter how functional) are useless if you don't have the room to flap them...and from the description in that passage of FotR it says his wings spanned the width of the place it was in before it fell into said chasm with Gandalf so it probably needed a lot of space to flap them....You also have to realize Balrogs were not originally underground inhabitants...they crept into the deep places to hide fromt he wrath of the Valar.

I say they had wings if they wanted them [img]smile.gif[/img] Since many a mair got to choose its physical form....Sauron himself a Mair was able to take any shape he wanted before he got stomped on in the sinking of Numenor.
