What creature is lurking about in the Khazad-dum? Some Rings of Power fans think they have it figured out – but others don't agree.
In The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power season 2, episode 5, Disa sees something terrifying in the caverns. Initially, it seemed pretty clear (at least to us) that the creature was, in fact, the Balrog. In the novel The Lord of the Rings, the Company of the Ring encounters a balrog in the Mines of Moria. The demonic entities, which serve Morgoth are twice the size of a normal human and wield whips made of fire.
