The spritis that inhabit Dragons could be corrupted elven spirits or even Dwarven spirits (We are never directly told where Dwarven spirits go). The spirits that inhabited the werewolves were probably corrupted elf spirits. If an elf Fea rejects the summons of Mandos, then it is doomed to wander the Earth. Many Avari elves rejected the summons of Mandos (being unfamiliar with the Valar) and were ensnared by Melkor/Sauron. The Barrow Wights were also probably corrupted elven spirits that were forced into the bodies of dead men by the Witchking. Also Balrogs and Melkor were of a single nature, but not Valar, they were both Ainur. The Balrogs are creatures of Illuvitar, but Servants of Morgoth. The Dragons on the other hand were bred, probably in the same manner in which Carchoth was bred, by Melkor and hence can be considered his creatures.

Yet the lies that Melkor, the mighty and accursed, Morgoth Bauglir, the Power of Terror and of Hate, sowed in the hearts of Elves and Men are a seed that does not die and cannot be destroyed; and ever and anon it sprouts anew, and will bear dark fruit even unto the latest days.
