hmm a lot of people there aren't strictly Races. Ungoliant isn't a Maia, she doesn't serve a Vala. The Balrogs are Ex-Maiar, as is Sauron, they all used to be Maiar. Olvar and kelvar? Now were getting silly, they aren't races, they are plants and animals. Beornings are a race of Men, and they are not all shape shifters I dont think.

What are Crebain? Is that the Kraken or something totally different? Uruks and Goblins are breeds of Orc. Urulóki are a type of Dragon, the other type being the Cold Drakes.

Sorry that is a brilliant list of beings, but races (talking peoples) can probably be summed up as:

Men
Elves
Ainur
Dwarfs
Orcs
Spirited beings (anything that is inhabited by a spirit: Ents, Werewolves, Eagles and so forth)

Yavanna that is a very good and very ott list [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
