Ok, Morgoth destroyed the lamps and chased the Valar to Valinor, which is pretty cool, but after the Valar came back and gave him a proper beating, he either uses stealth or doesn't come out of his hole voluntarily at all.
Glaurung fought in several major battles of Beleriand and did all the dirty work that Morgoth should have done himself. As a matter of fact, Glaurung also didn't get shot off the sky the one and only time he goes into action within the story.  ++Glaurung |

++Morgoth
Who needs Glaurung when you have Smaug?

A self-evident choice.

There's something about Glaurung which is just much more bad to the bone than there is in Morgoth, probably because he nixes Turin and his lady friends.
But then Morgoth's deeds are darker and more sinister - hints of nastier things than we are used to in Tolkien...and of course it's Morgoth who creates (or at least enlists and thus empowers) all these weird and wonderful dark creatures like Dragons.

Voice of Saruman, Eyes of Glaurung... pretty close.

I was going to vote for Glaurung, but:
++ Morgoth Because discordant music is actually pretty cool, and because he seems to be the underdog all of a sudden. |
