I think I agree with the more powerful maiar inhabiting dragons, (Dragons had much more offensive power than Balrogs, but Balrogs were probably stronger overall) but that poses a problem of why the dragons were quiet for all of the second age. I think Carchoth was a Maiar or maybe just a wolf that Melkor let a lot of his power pass into. The Barrow Wight thread is pretty informative about the whole elf spirit thing. Also what about Ents, what happens to their spirits when they die? On a side note what does IIRC stand for? [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]
