Re: Balrogs vs Dragons

sorry, i didn't see that. i would assume that the lesser ainur can die, but they don't go to mandos to await a new vessel. the maiar, like the valar can take any form whenever they like, so couldn't they just reform themselves after their body is vanquished, i.e. Sauron. of course after they die maybe some of them are to weak to reform, so in a sense they die because they can't become flesh again.

i can see that for some of the greater maiar it may take a few times to lose their ability to reform. and for the valar, being strongest of the ainur, never losing their power to reform, so they could never die, an example of this would be Morgoth.
