Why Didn’t Sauron Turn into a Balrog Like the Others? | Lord of the Rings

Описание: In this video, we analyze why Sauron did not become a Balrog. We explore the different types of Maiar, the distinct roles of Morgoth’s servants, how Sauron was already a fully developed shapeshifter, and other key aspects that help explain his unique path among the fallen spirits.
