The problem with Mewlips is, not only do they sound like Orcs, but everything in their description is consistent with them being Orcs. Over the mountains... in a valley where the trees are evil and corrupted, filled with old ruins... next to the marshes... spider-shadows... it is all clearly a reference to the Misty Mountains, Mirkwood, Long Marshes, and the spiders of Dol Guldur. I would like to add Mewlips, but I just don't think it would be in the spirit of the actual mewlip poem. Similarly, I sometimes regret actually adding Harad and Rhun.

I did actually start drawing a Mewlip biome in Rhun once a long time ago but then I realised this and stopped doing it.

And if they were ever added, they probably wouldn't be an actual faction, just mindless scary monsters like the Barrow Wights.
