Demon of Morgoth
A Demon (Q."Rauko"; pl. "Raukar"; S.: "Raug" or "Rog"; pl. "Ryg") was an evil Spirit, generally a Maia who had been corrupted by the Black Enemy, a destructive Spirit of Arda, or their incarnate offspring (Maiarindi).
Tied to a hideous Fana (Q. "Veil"; "Radiant Figure") that manifested the theme or element they originally represented, a Demon could almost never assume a fair-seeming form. Their body, though, was critical to their existence in Middle-earth. However, if an Ainu became accustomed to a form and existence within Arda they could become tied to a distinct shape and their Fána became incarnated as a hröa ("Body").
Appearance
Although the Demons were of diverse appearance, often even unique forms, most of them had a dark shadowy aura similar to dark mist or "Unlight" (for example the Balrog of Moria).
