I always pictured the Balrogs as beings of man shape only of gigantic size and strength, just a dark smokey form with a blank face wielding a sword alive with fire and the whip, NO WINGS! Then they would be surrounded by shadow and smoke, and when it wanted to it could form the shadow to appear as great, dark, bat-like wings, surrounded by flame. Then having flaming eyes and nostrils with a long flowing mane from the head part of the way down the back. If anyone agrees or sees them similar to that please post it, I'd like to know.
