Is Sauron stronger than Balrog?

Yes, Sauron was more powerful than the Balrogs. So, Morgoth (or Melkor) was superior to Sauron as Morgoth was one of the Valar. Balrogs are also corrupted Maiar, but they are not as high in the hierarchy as Sauron. Thus, Sauron was more powerful than any Balrog.

Why didn’t the Balrog kill the dwarves?

When Morgoth was captured and taken to Valinor, the Balrogs sat in his abandoned fortress and waited. The Balrogs had no such motivation. They were truly their master’s agents. So when the Balrog of Moria was awakened, he didn’t even kill all the Dwarves.

Why didn’t the Balrog kill the orcs?

But whereas the Balrog killed all the Dwarves he could find after they woke him up, he seems to have left the Orcs alone for the most part. That doesn’t keep Orcs from killing each other left and right. Hitler and Stalin were both evil, but they were intent on killing each other too.

Why didnt the Balrog join Sauron?

Sauron ruled much of Middle-earth in darkness during the Second Age. In all that time, he never saw a Balrog. He knew that Balrogs had been destroyed or had fled at the end of the First Age. He had no reason to think any remained or could be found, even by himself.

Why didnt Sauron use dragons?

For dragons… Smaug was the last of the great dragons, thus ridding Sauron of a possible powerful ally. It’s possible, like the drakes, that sauron simply didn’t have the same control over them that morgoth did, and that the moria-balrog was awakened by the dwarves entirely by accident.

Could Sauron have controlled the Balrog?

The straight forward answer is yes. Sauron, even without the ring, was the most powerful being in Middle-Earth. What’s more, Sauron was second in command to Morgoth, who is supposed to be Satan, who controlled the Balrogs in his army.

Are balrogs loyal to Sauron?

The Balrogs were originally the servants of Morgoth in the First Age, of whom, Sauron was also his servant. Certainly Sauron knew of the existence of the Balrog (especially at the point when his orcs entered Moria), and the Balrog seems to have tolerated the presence of Sauron’s orcs.

Who would win Balrog vs Smaug?

But, given Smaug’s sheer size, he outweighs the Balrog by tons and a few slashes, maybe a tail swipe and a hearty bite, the Balrog would fall. So, with that said, Gandalf, technically, died fighting the Balrog, so, again, one on one I’d think Gandalf would lose out against Smaug, even with Narya.

Can smaug kill Balrog?

Dragons and Balrogs are both, in origin, Maia spirits. Smaug isn’t Maiar, but his power is equivalent. Smaug would snatch up Durin’s Bane and gobble him up with his sword-sharp teeth (and we know swords can kill Balrogs).

Can drogon beat Smaug?

Martin recalled a recent email about an online argument over whether Drogon, one of Daenerys Targaryen’s dragons, could beat Smaug, the beast from J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit, in a fight, and offered a highly rational answer: “Basically, no.

Is Viserion a White Walker?

Viserion and the Bear are now White Walkers, not Wights. It would be hard to confuse the two but in this case it is actually quite clear. Viserion was killed by the Night King, but the bear’s death is uncertain. They are still both White Walkers.

Why does drogon burn the Iron Throne?

Drogon knows Jon killed his mother, but instead of taking revenge on him, the dragon turns his wrath on the Iron Throne and melts it into molten slag. According to Djawadi, it’s intended to represent Drogon destroying the thing that led to his mother’s downfall.
