I've wondered the same thing too. What about all the different kinds of trolls and other monsters mentioned in the Sil? He must have had some kind of power to create. I supposed you could argue that trolls are corrupted ents, but as far as I know, JRRT never really says so specifically, only hints at it in Treebeard's speech: 'But Trolls are only counterfeits, made by the Enemy in the Great Darkness, in mockery of Ents, as Orcs were of Elves.'
