Like the Balrog of Moria, Magurgoth the Demon of the Tûr Betark (B.S. “Powerful War-
lord”) was a Fire Spirit. He was released from the Void by Akhorahil
and remained the major force for evil in Greater Harad. Magurgoth
rarely left the treasury of Evefalin, but his minions did his will
wherever he ordered them. When the Demon moved to combat
intruders with his own presence, he attacked with great fury, driving
off or destroying his foes. Although not as powerful as Durin’s Bane, Magurgoth was more than capable of defeating most warriors
and lesser magi. Great leathery wings protruding from his massive
shoulders enhanced the Demon’s abilities to fight and move. This
gave him a substantial advantage in the immense Dwarven halls.
His great taloned hands and feet accompanied by huge fanged jaws
would alone make him a worthy opponent. However, Magurgoth
possessed an intellect that rivalled those of the greatest generals.
The Demon was a master of fire and light spells. His tactical
ability, great power, and intelligence were sufficient to maintain
order amongst the Orcs and Trolls, driving these minions to
courage in battle. Magurgoth’s fiendish nature enjoyed toying with
hapless victims. Bearing a great flaming axe, too large for Man or
Elf to wield, he could attack two foes at the same moment. The
Demon was also able to immolate at will, buming all within ten feet of his
body.
