Why did the Balrog stay in Moria?
I don't care if he had wings or not, why did he stay in Moria after the Dwarves were driven out? I am quite sure that Sauron would have welcomed him with open arms (one with a hidden knife in it). Did he imagine that he was holding a fortress for Melkor should he return? Did it remind him of Utumno or Thangorobrind? It just seems curious. Even Smaug got out a bit.
