For me the Balrgos are my favourite being in Tolkien's Legendarium. What creature or being is your favourite?

Painting a figure of the Balrog when I was younger was so much fun.

Me too, I remember being obsessed!

@@loreramble painting the little riders of rohan was fun too. I saw each of the lotr movies with my uncle. He's introduced me to a ton of great things.

Another excellent video, really enjoyed this one. For me, the Peter Jackson's Balrog always reminded me of Baphomet from Dungeons & Dragons or like a juiced up Azazel from Judaism or something.
