Actually... he does sort of appear indirectly, in the form of that moth that always precedes the eagles... he did take that form to reach Gandalph in the books, though he became himself again to talk with him. But, he should have been an actual character, to show that there are more than just the 2 wizards Gandalph and Sauruman.
And the other two unnamed members of the Istari, the wizards council of which Sauruman was the head, were also Maiar. I think the Dragons were started from corrupted Maiar as well, though I am not certain on that one... Shelob was one of the few remaining offspring of Ungoliant, a huge spider-demon thingie that came out of the Void surrounding the world (as did a lot of other "monsters").
