Aren’t Balrogs just corrupted Maiar? I’ve never understood why it’s assumed that they all have to be the same. Presumably, they could have taken different forms, either by their own choice, by Morgoth’s, or just by the way the corruption took hold. Maybe some had wings and some didn’t?

maybe they had elytras to hide the wings unless needed, and some of them had the wings atrophy while keeping elytras for aggression displays?
