If you have read Silmarillion you have probably read about these Maia spirits, all faithful to and followers of Morgoth but still not Balrogs:

Thuringwethil, Saurons messenger from Tol-in-Gaurhoth, appear as a huge bat.
Draugluin, the huge werewolf in the same tower, slain by Huan.
Carcharoth, the giant wolf, protector of the gates of Thangorodrim.

Yes, it is written that Gothmog was the son of Melko in BoLT2, but it also says that Tolkien discarded this mythology in newer versions.


&quot;Not before Manwë steps down from Taniquetil and Morgoth rises again, the last battle will be fought in the end of times, Dagor Dagorath..&quot;
