Balrog Beasts?

[the phantom]

He was about same stature as the cave troll in the movie. Or are you claiming it was too big too?

Well, I suppose the two are kind of comparable, but the balrog was definitely bigger than the troll in the movie.

And actually, I believe that the troll was much too big (and way too tough to kill) in the movie. It did make for a nice fight scene though.
