backtracking a bit... well a lot really...
balrogs were in fact created by morgoth
these were maia who went over to the dark side. gandalf was also a maia, thus he was equal in power with the balrog, which is why they both died.
the spiders were not created by him either, ungoliant is said to have existed when the very earth was made.
as for dragons, im not sure, but ithink they were natural too, but originally lived high in the north. please correct me if i am wrong
