Balrgos are quite common throughout the multiverse.
They are, in fact, widely known for one outstanding
trait. Bad Breath. Big or small, puffy custard-filled
or scalding lava filled like this one. All Balrogs have
breath that wouldn’t so much curl ones nostril hairs
as the nostril itself. Indeed the sinus passage and
the whole body of the nostrils owner would curl up and
wither after a hint of Balrogs breath. It is often thought
that bad breath is the opposite of good breath. It is
not. Bad breath is merely the absence of good breath.
Balrogs breath is the opposite of all that could ever
be good in a gaseous state. It swallows every molecule
of life energy from the environment it is exposed to.
And here stood Gandalf. On a tiny slip of a bridge;
preparing to show this living lump of lava of a Balrog
just who is boss.
Any truly wise Wizard would be showing this Balrog the
back of his head….
