Battlebestiarybalrog

A Balrog is a type of Greater Daemon. It is distinguished by its preoccupation with fire, and fire-based magic.[1a]

Balrogs are winged, humanoids, often covered in flames. Fire spurts from their nostrils and mouths, and their eyes glow like coals. They are large, always over 10' tall and often much bigger. They carry flaming whips and can breathe fire.

Trivia[]

Warhammer Fantasy, being very heavily inspired by the works of J.R.R. Tolkien in its early years "borrowed" the Balrog character from his famous Lord Of The Rings book. As Warhammer Fantasy grew more streamlined and mainstream, Balrogs never appeared again, likely due to copyright reasons.
