Tough looking bugger ain't he? This fearsome fellow is Gothmog Lord of Balrogs & Captain of Angband. Balrogs are fearsome foes able to rip a man in half. They don't talk much. Balrogs are big but that's not just it..they will kick your sorry ass goodbye. Balrogs are ancient evil..and very good at what they do. Their eyes convey that they know where everything rotten and lousy is at.
Gothmog's little brother almost took out Gandalf the Grey. Gothmog killed Feanor. He clove Finarfin's head with his Black Axe. He took Hurin captive and lastly slew Ecthelion of the Fountains. Only one guy on Middle-Earth could defeat Gothmog one on one--he is Morgoth Bauglir.
