Since I recently added a bunch of video game specific Tolkien characters to this website, I figured I might as well also make a list of every villain to show up in the Lord of the Rings and the various associated works. Or at least, every villain with a page here. Enjoy the Rogues Gallery.

As he is the very first evil in Tolkien's setting and also the greatest overall, any list should probably begin with this guy.
The OTHER great evil of Middle-Earth besides his former master, and a poster-boy for pure evil in-universe and beyond.
An extension of Sauron's will and personality, and an item of evil that cannot ever be used for good, at least not in the long-term. Inevitably, it corrupts all who try to use it.
The Istari who betrayed Middle-Earth, and who also schemed to eventually betray Sauron too in an attempt to become the new Lord of the Rings. Naturally, it didn't work out.
Demons of shadow and flame who alongside the Dragons were Morgoth's greatest servants (besides Sauron of course). Said to be only seven in number. Fortunately for Middle-Earth, none remained in the Third Age for Sauron to use for his own wars except for one that didn't live to do so.
Seemingly the last of the Balrog's, and also the most famous one thanks to his memorable role in Fellowship of the Ring.
Video game exclusive Balrog, awakened by Zog the Eternal for use as a living weapon.
Though their origins are not entirely known, what is known is that the Dragons of Middle-Earth were no friends to the Free Peoples, instead counting among Morgoth's mightiest minions.
Last of the Dragons
Well, other than this guy anyway, though this one's a video game exclusive.
