I know that; that is why I specified Letters.
WHAT HAVE I TOLD YOU ABOUT BOTHERING ME WITH FACTS!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?
the kind of thing that Sauron could still have many of skulking about the dungeons of the dark tower. Anyway, it was just an example of a winged[citation needed] creature. Purely chosen as an example by chance, and not in any way a reference to famously unresolved and passionately argued questions about The Lord of the Rings .
I have made a note of your impertinence.

Well, Tolkien also says in other written material that there were small armies of them, the kind of thing that Sauron could still have many of skulking about the dungeons of the dark tower.

But balrogs don’t have wings.
Sure they do! You can clearly see them in the movies.
Tru dat. When the balrog’s in the woodpile, they’d just get in the way.

But Bill the Pony carried Frodo all the way to Moria. And then made his way back to the Shire…solo! So…
A) Ordinary animals, let alone jumbo sized ones, are tough as hell in Middle Earth
B) Carrying someone who’s holding The Ring doesn’t make you subject to the burden of The Ring.
I can’t believe that on this board, this has made it four days without correction…
Bill only carried Frodo for a very short time, from the attack on Weathertop until they are intercepted by Glorfindel–maybe a week or so. The rest of the time Bill is a pack-horse.
So – what would happen if you put one on a treadmill?
