[QUOTE="Wolfspider, post: 22737, member: 300"] Edena said: Whoah...deja vu. ;) I agree with most of what's been said here. Sauron and Saruman, definite contenders. Galadriel and Elrond, certainly they might be up to it, although they might very well perish in the fight. (In fact, it's a theme in Tolkien's work that heroes die fighting big nasties like Balrog's, even if they also manage to kill their enemies as well.) Celeborn doesn't seem to be of the same stuff that his consort Galadriel is, so I would think he would go down fighting, maybe giving it a nasty scratch. Treebeard would be torched (but only because of his vulnerability to fire--without it he would be a contender), as would Legolas and Aragorn. The Lord of the Nazgul...interesting. I'm not sure...he's pretty nasty. It would be an interesting fight. I think he would ultimately lose, though. Don't discount Shelob quite so easily. Her mother, Ungoliant, was able to threaten Morgoth (Sauron's boss) and was only driven away by a host of Balrogs. I figure that Shelob, if suitably prepared and in her own territory, could give the Balrog a nasty surprise. Her defeat at the hands of Sam was a fluke, after all.... :D I have a great idea!!! Once all of the folks doing the Middle Earth conversion have posted most of their material, why don't we do a Fight Club featuring these characters? :D What do you think? [/QUOTE]
