Morgoth had 7 Balrogs (as it said in the Silm). Glorfindel slew one, Ecthelion slew Gothmog, the war of wrath purged at least 3, and Gandalf killed one. But that leaves the wherabouts of the other one unknown. Knowing this, I believe it flew to a dark place it knew--Utumno's Ruins. And my theory is that this is why the Ithryn Luin did not return to the west to aid against Sauron. They met the terror in their journeys and fell, maybe taking it down, and only Saruman returned.
