Whatever happened to a Balrog. I always thought that was a fantastic fearsome creature. It never seems to be used or mentioned anywhere....is it only Tolkien specific?

Backstabbed with a rolling pin for 2D6 headlumps of damage. No saving throw, no aspirin and no sympathy....every drunken husbands nightmare.

Here's a little about them, sods law I can't find my LotR book or I'd give you Tolkiens own description.

Balrog
Balrogs (Valaraukar) are rare creatures, enormous in size and extremely dangerous in combat. The most famous Balrog is the one who faught against Gandalf in Moria (LotR). They are maiar who followed Morgoth instead of the light. Balrogs use magical flaming whips and often combine this deadly weapon with a sabre. Durin´s Bane was the name given to the Balrog of Moria by the dwarves, called the Flame of Udûn by Gandalf. Gothmog, the son of Morgoth and the troll Fluithuin (Ulbandi); slayer of Fëanor, Fingon and Echtelion; lord of the Balrogs and high-captain of Angband was a mighty balrog who was slain in the Beleriand wars

More on Tolkiens monsters can be found here -
