Actually, just a giant crocodile named after the Balrog, but still cool that they referenced Tolkein. (The discoverers include some friends of mine.)
Meet ‘Anthracosuchus balrogus,’ The 900-Pound Prehistoric Crocodile
I see a B movie in this things future.
But does it have wings?
If it did they probably would have called it smaugi.
Balrognado?
As long as they don’t jump over it with a motorcycle.
Fly, you fools! (I can’t believe I’m the first to post that.)
They delved too greedily and too deep?
I wish they had reserved this name for something more terrifying.
So where does a 900 pound Balrog sleep?
You know who else was a 900 pound crocodile from tropical South America?
Nothing like a dozen Balrog wings and a few brewskies while watching the Sunday game.
Particularly if they’re sauced with Mt. Doom Lava-Hot wing sauce. “Ring-melting good!”
I’ve heard of canaries in a coal mine but this is ridiculous!
you shall not pass!!!
What, the crocodile? If I were you, I wouldn’t call it a fool.
