They probably all looked more or less like the Children. However, it would have been to Morgoth's advantage for his servants to be incarnated so it is possible that he imposed it on them, perhaps by directly incarnating them if he had that power, perhaps by tricking them into bringing it upon themselves. If Morgoth chose their forms there's somewhat more possibility that they appeared monstrous.
