Probably lizards or snakes. While Morgoth didn't create life, he could twist and empower already living things by pouring his own power into them. What where the orks, trolls, Wargs etc. before Morgoth and his servants created them?
@@divout6688 Likely Ents, but in Letter 153, after some very long asides about the origins of evil, the nature of wickedness, questions about why God tolerates evil, and the differences between making, creation, and sub-creation, Tolkien writes that he is not sure about the origin of Trolls. Tolkien writes that he thinks that trolls are counterfeits.
Tolkien didn’t specify an exact number of dragons in Middle-earth, but he gave us hints about a few major ones and some context on their rarity. Dragons first appeared during the First Age, bred by Morgoth in Angband, his northern fortress. Glaurung, the “Father of Dragons,” was the first known dragon, introduced during the wars of Beleriand. From Glaurung, there were other breeds, including wingless and winged (fire-drakes) dragons. By the end of the First Age, the number of dragons dwindled significantly after the War of Wrath, and most of them either perished or scattered. In the Third Age, the presence of dragons is even less pronounced, with Smaug being the most famous. Smaug was said to be one of the last great dragons, implying that by then, dragons were incredibly rare, if not nearly extinct. So, in short, Tolkien kept the number of dragons ambiguous, but he made it clear they were few and far between, with each passing age seeing even fewer of these legendary creatures.
This is one of the problems Tolkien was never able to address. What did Morgoth corrupt to create them? Of nothing than he created life
"The most common theory is that dragons were corrupted versions of the Great Eagles of Middle-earth"
@ my problem with this theory is the first dragon didn’t have wings and such and it’s never been confirmed

Did Tolkien ever specify how many dragons lived in Middle Earth? In all ages
