Kalimbo
From Tolkien Gateway
Kalimbo (also called Kosomot) was the son of the Vala Melkor and the ogress Ulbandi, as conceived in the earliest versions of the legendarium. Kalimbo is described as a "savage, uncivilized man, barbarian; giant, monster, troll".[1][2] Tolkien later changed his name to Gothmog,[3] but eventually the idea that the Valar had children was discarded altogether.
