This is based on the Balrog from The Lord of the Rings, with a nod to the D&D Balor.

Balrogs are fictional demonic beings who appear in J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth legendarium. Such creatures first appeared in print in his novel The Lord of the Rings, where the fellowship of the Ring encounter one known as Durin's Bane in the Mines of Moria. Balrogs figured in earlier writings that appeared posthumously in The Silmarillion and other books.
