Unclear but possibly the creation of one of the Valar (Morgoth?). The result of a breeding and training programme instigated by Saruman. Trolls and Dragons - Not a whole lot it definitive here either. In usage it often means "true orc" whereas they (the Uruks) call the smaller ones snaga which means slave. Uruks - Uruks are sort of like the epitome of the Orcs. Many people speculate she was Maiar but I'm less convinced. Some people speculate it can be one of (or many of) the "Nameless Things" Gandalf sees under Moria. Christopher Tolkien includes it in The Silmarillion because he wanted to have something there, and other ideas required more changes to the other tales. A major problem being Orcs are mortal, and Melkor didn't have to the power to remove the immortality God gave the elves. Tolkien transitioned into this idea after deciding Melkor could not create life of his own but relatively quickly rejected it. Orcs-Twisted,mutilated and corrupted elves by Morgoth (I think there's different theories for them but this is the most "cannon" one I think). If I'm making mistakes (which I know I did) please correct me since I'm not a native English speaker and I'm on mobile right now. Ungoliant- I recall reading her origin but I'm not sure, she was a Maiar?.The watcher in the lake- not sure if that's his name even, much less how was he created.Hobbits- there's no direct links to they're creation as far as I can tell.Dragons- thought the same thing as the trolls but they do talk sometimes as well, and I think that they are even more intelligent that trolls are.Trolls- at first I thought they were just animals or creatures like wargs but they have some intelligent ones and can even talk so no idea who created them.Uruks- I thought they were a crossbreed between orcs and humans but apparently those are half-orcs not uruks entirely so I'm not sure.Balrogs- corrupted Maiar helping Morgoth.Ĭreatures I'm not sure how were they created:.Spiders- born from Shelob who was the daughter of Ungoliant.Orcs-Twisted,mutilated and corrupted elves by Morgoth (I think there's different theories for them but this is the most "cannon" one I think).Ents- created by Yavanna as a counterpart of Dwarves to be able to protect her creations, also given soul by iluvatar under the same conditions as the Dwarves.Dwarves- created by Aule because he wanted to meet the children of iluvatar before time, yet iluvatar gave them soul (fea?) But weren't allowed to wake up before the children of iluvatar.Humans-same as the elves but different characteristics.Elves- they were created by Eru as the first born.I haven't read all the Tolkien books, in fact the only one I've read is the silmarillion which it actually explains a lot of things,but I'm still confused about the origin of some creatures/races, here's a summary of what I know so far, if I'm mistaken in some things,please correct me so I can edit.
