@lisboah Indeed. He is so hellbent (no pun intended) to spite Eru Illuvatar and His Greater Plan, e.g. the Music of the Ainur, to assert thag he could amd WOULD will himself out of his Creator's Will - to achieve absolute poeer and freewill - that he never truthfully thought about creating anything significant aside more weapons, horrors and corruption. His greatest was being so spiteful his hatred and darkness literally poured into the foundations of Arda and the very fabric of Ea with the very concepts of entropy and decaying evil themselves, dooming creation to a delayed end.

Yep.

Morgoth: a being so almighty that it took the combined forces of all the Valars and their host of Maiars-- and later on of the Children of Iluvatar united to get rid but of a speck of his armies on Earth... and he nevertheless corrupted the fabric of the ENTIRE Ea/Universe by metaphysically designing and weaving the very concept of entropy and the dwindling of glory and Good within creation on a demiurgic level, distorted Arda/Earth from its inception (it is heavily implied that he made the ancient planet Theia collapse on young Earth countless aeions before the First Age) to his demise... and is thoroughly implied he still possesses countless armadas of sprites, of star-devouring fallen Maiars and primordial eldritch entities of the likes of Ungoliant, and mortal beings either corrupted by Morgoth or designed by the latter (inferring about the existence of extraterrestrial life spawned outside of the Kingdom of Arda/local solar system - given that the Moon is actually scarcely inhabited in the Tolkien Legendarium) posted within the stars and beyond! It is said that the only reason why Arda hasn't been invaded yet by the Dark Lord coming back from the chasm of the void beyond the Walls of Arda (so to speak, into the deep space and a formless realm/dimension beyond our earthly plane of reality at once) is because for as long as the living descendants of Aragorn scattered across the world still lives, their blessed light thwart the God/Angelic being away from the planet he coveted so much.

@need-to-know- This is its most proponent etymology. It may also means "God's Venom/Poison" , "Poisoned by God" , "Fame/Name/Renown of God" , "Heard/Made Famed by God" , "Heard of God" , "God's Wrath" "God of Wrath" , "Blinded by God" , "the blind god" , "Herald of God" , "The Herald God" "Host of God" or "God's Blinding Herald" as a reference to alternatively to the Sun, Mercury, Mars, the Morning Star (Venus and Sirius) , the Moon at its full moon phase, and Samael's manifold role in ancient Judaism and rabbinical tects as both a demiurgic being, divine host or Power, Watcher, one of the fallen angelic being/fallen Son of God, Principalty, opposite attorney in the heavenly court, original Tempter figure and ambivalent being in contrast to Satan in Judaism. One of his epithets in Judaism is "Son of the shalim star (Morning Star)" .

Indeed.

@need-to-know- Even there, there has still the story of Samael in the Book of Enoch and the Book of Isaiah, as well as within Midrashic texts.

@meneither3834 Just a FEW??

@lisboah Actually, it is heavily implied that the creatures of the dark were merely but corrupted beings too born from the dark magic or corrupted divine science and occult breeding led by the Fallen One. Orcs could be hypothetically but corrupted Elves who has been tortured and misshapen beyond recognition by Morgoth-- thus inferring that they were Children of Iluvatar too and possess souls- thus freewill and conscience. Dragons were born from experimentions on ancient worms, Balrogs and the very power of Morgoth along a race of prehistoric behemoths who once crawled Arda before being wiped out by Morgoth's second descent into Arda countless aeions before he did the same on the ancestors of the Wargs-- and countless more aeions before the Awakening of the Eldars (implying that dragons results from breeding between dinosaurs, vertebraes, fallen stellar angels/gods and his very soul... and also that Morgoth was responsible of the Fourth Mass Extinction) . Whom to the trolls, I heard they result from the breeding of tortured/corrupted Ents with oliphants and Orcs, inferring that trolls are part-sprite-ensouled living trees, part-beast and part-Children of Iluvatar.

Or because he was meant to. Illuvatar reigns supreme over all of His creation, after all...
