A gigantic flaming demon with a large flaming sword (yes, this is the balrog from The Lord Of The Rings)
The Balrog will be familiar to anyone who has either watched the movie The Lord of The Rings, or read the book. For those who have not, the Balrog is a huge demon from the lower realms. It has wings, but for some strange reason, it seems not to use them.
Combat
A Balrog usually wades straight into combat swinging its Flaming Sword, not caring who it strikes. For this reason, everything usually stays well out of its way.
Elementals are immune to to poison, sleep, paralysis, stunning. Elementals are not subject to flanking or criticals hits. They have darkvision with a range of 60 feet. Elementals can not be raised or ressurected but can come back with a wish or miracle spell.
