They cannot die - but can their bodies be destroyed? After the destruction of the trees Morgoth lost the power to change his form; he was stuck in the form of a 'Dark Lord'. Fingolfin hewed off Morgoth's foot, and he never got it back, as the Silmarillion clearly states. If his physical body could be damaged thus, could it not also be destroyed?

It's a tricky question. But we know one thing - Morgoth was not immune to weapons or to pain. Unlike the other Valar, he felt fear.
