I don't think it would be fair to assume the Proudfeet were characterised by any very malevolent kind of pride; if anything I can see Tolkien, with his own peculiar surname and fondness for linguistic pedantries and oddities, being quite fond of them...

germane to the Ainulindalé? maybe not. Melkor, He Who Arises in Might, Morgoth, Dark Enemy of the World, also occasionally known as Proudquavers
