Mevans missed a really good chance to add a boss in Utumno. well they weren't bosses they were basic warriors Tolkien mentioned in his later writings that there weren't ever more than 7 balrogs. Certainly not what I would consider basic warriors. Actually, he never specifically said that there were only 7. In the Book of Lost Tales - yes, an earlier writing - it was specifically stated that there were armies of them. However, you are somewhat right. In later writings, only 7 were explicitly stated.. Except it didn't say there were no more than 7, just only listed 7. It's the difference between saying you like potatoes and saying you don't like anything but potatoes.
