I'm assuming it's not a particularly ofu sort of fandom-ish comic strip? Either way, that sketch of the mini is just adorable.

I've been going through the archives of Mundane Nirvana, a pretty awesome webcomic, and came across this strip. I wanted to share the awesomeness (and downright squee-worthiness) of this comic with you.

if you want a mini-Balrog, you could always adopt one. :D
I run the Mini-Balrog Adoptions Agency and you're more than welcome to come and look around, and adopt one if you like them. ^_^ -

The place-name minis are generally considered male unless the names sound feminine. One of the Moria ones - Moira - is considered female, but she was adopted by an Agent a while ago. -

the names seem SSSOOOOO familiar.... did the creators not have any imagination when it came to names, or did they just take a shortcut about that part??

the concept of mini-Balrogs was created by Miss Cam, who wrote the Official Fanfiction University of Middle-earth. The idea actually is that mini-Balrogs are created by misspelling a Lord of the Rings canon character's name, or the name of a known location.
So the poor little minis are actually created by typos.
It's the same for other fandoms the PPC knows, these days. We have a list of types of minis here, all mini-versions of monsters native to the continuum being mangled. Hope this helps. -

Could I maybe give him a home in Jackson and Felaben's RC? I kind of feel I owe it to the poor little guy, since I must have summoned him into my various writings a hundred times in the early days.

I'm sending him over now. Hope he has fun! Remember to feed him bacon and eggs, and set him on any nosy Sues.
