Balrog apparently. Did some research and found someone on another forum who knows what they're talking about. [quote]There were three battles occuring with Balrogs: - Glorfindel vs. a Balrog: both perished - Echtelion vs. Gothmog: both perished - Gandalf vs. a Balrog: both perished There were four battles with Dragons: - Turin vs. Glaurung: Turin killed the dragon without dying himself - Eärendil vs. Ancalagon: Eärendil killed the dragon - Fram vs. Scatha: Fram killed the dragon - Bard vs. Smaug: Bard killed the dragon Can any conclusion be made from this? The Balrogs fought with two Eldar and a Maia, and all of them perished in the fight.The Dragons fought with three men and a half-elf and none of the latter died in combat. Do I really have to say it out loud? The Balrogs would win over dragons any day![/quote]
