I was under the impression that vampires and werewolves were Maiar, or at least Thuringwethil and Drauglin. I think I have a quote somewhere to back that up. Since dragons were bred in Angband, they couldn't be Maiar. In truth, I was just guessing on the matter of fellbeasts and watchers. I thought that the Watchers of Cirith Ungol might be, but again, that was sort of an unlawful guess. Let me dig through, HoME a little, and perhaps I'll discover the desirable quote. Otherwise, I bow to your obviously superior knowledge *slaps self with Grond*.
