This quote was what I thought of as well. It's worth noting, incidentally, that this occurs at the conclusion of the Battle of the Powers, and not the War of Wrath, the point being that even by the end of the siege of Utumno the Valar were astonished at how greatly Morgoth had been diminished.

While I think I once considered here the idea of "miniature Morgoths" in the shape of the Orcs and so forth, I don't think there's a hard and fast quote for it. It was just an extension of the idea, which others have provided quotes for in this thread, that Morgoth "spent his power on his servants", and I was speculating as to what the utter limit or extent of that might have been.
