úvanimo, or úvano, means "a monster, corrupt or evil creature" in Quenya.[1] The word úvanimo also appears in the Etymologies, given the meaning "monster (creature of Melko)" (wrongly rendered as capitalized "Úvanimor" in the published text).[2][3]
Such creatures that were identified by this term include Monsters, Giants, and Ogres.[4]
