And Melkor knew of all that was done, for even then he had secret friends and spies among the Maiar whom he had converted to his cause; and far off in the darkness he was filled with hatred, being jealous of the work of his peers, whom he desired to make subject to himself. Therefore he gathered to himself spirits out of the halls of Eä that he had perverted to his service, and he deemed himself strong.
I just like imagining all the unlimited terrible forms that the spirits Melkor twisted and perverted to his service could take. The way he might have snatched up bits and pieces of creations from the songs of of Yavanna and created new, warped bodies for those spirits so that they could invade the newly created world.
I also just like drawing fun creepy lil dudes.
