So what would happen if the Balrog somehow found the One Ring? A lot of people seem to assume that the Balrog would naturally go on and try to conquer middle-earth and challenge Sauron. But in my opinion it is quite likely that he would end up like a beefed up version of Gollum, hiding deeper and deeper into Moria to be alone with is "precious" becoming completely and utterly enslaved to the ring, slowly losing his mind (if it isn't gone already) ... I mean that's all the Balrog really wanted: to be alone and undisturbed. I don't think that he would be able to master the ring. In the end Sauron, after winning the war by conventional means, would come to Moria in person and take the ring from the Balrog.
