The Balrog in Moria (indeed, all Balrogs at that) was a Maia,How about Chitard, the god of Tattie
a lesser member of the gods (the Maiar and the Valar both started out
as the Ainur). Interestingly enough, Sauron was also a Maia, as were
Gandalf, Sauron, Radagast, and the two blue wizards who travelled to
the East. The Balrogs were lured into the path of evil by Morgoth, and
among them Gothmog was the most powerful warrior, while Sauron was the
most intelligent, cunning, and devious (Gothmog was killed by Ecthelion
in the Battle of Gondolin). However, of all the Maiar, Gandalf was the
wisest (he was known as Olorin before he was sent to Middle-Earth).
Anyway, the point of this is that if the Balrog in Moria had taken
the ring, he would have been MORE powerful than Sauron was, because
he would have his own power in addition to the greater part of Sauron's power, which was present in the ring. Needless to say, this would be bad.
