Whew! Talk about missing the point of a good story! H.G. Wells never gave a specific number for the population of the Morlocks in his book "The Time Machine". Who cares anyway? That's sorta like asking the number of Santa's helpers at the North Pole! The number of Morlocks or Enoi really would have no meaning in the book or to the "moral" of the story. The drift of the story was that in the future the human race would devolve into two subspecies roughly based on the notion of an "elite" class and a "working" class, that was a pervasive idea in Victorian society of Wells' time. But if you're so totally anal that you absolutely must have an exact quantity for the number Morlocks, then the number of the Morlocks is exactly equal to the number of the Enoi!
The cannibalistic beasts in HG Wells' book "The Time Machine" are called Morlocks. They are a species that evolved underground in the distant future and prey on the Eloi, another species that lives above ground.
Eloi and Morlocks appear in H.G. Wells' novel "The Time Machine." The Eloi are a peaceful, childlike people who live above ground, while the Morlocks are underground-dwelling, subterranean creatures who prey on the Eloi. The novel explores themes of class division and evolution.
In H.G. Wells's "The Time Machine," the Time Traveller encounters the Morlocks, who are described as having sensitive, whip-like antennae that they use to perceive their surroundings. The antennae play a role in highlighting the Morlocks' divergent evolutionary path and their predatory nature.
The Eloi and the Morlocks are characters from the science fiction novel "The Time Machine" written by H.G. Wells. The Eloi are a peaceful, childlike species living on the surface, while the Morlocks are a subterranean and more sinister group. The protagonist of the story encounters both civilizations during his time-traveling adventures.
In H.G. Wells' "The Time Machine," the creatures that live above ground are the Eloi, who are peaceful and childlike, and the Morlocks, who are mysterious and sinister. The Eloi live above ground in harmony, while the Morlocks live underground and come to the surface at night.
In H.G. Wells' novel "The Time Machine," the post-human races encountered by the Time Traveller include the Eloi and the Morlocks.

Both races have evolved from humans over thousands of years.
The setting of "The Time Machine" by H.G. Wells, which includes the future world of the Eloi and Morlocks, plays a crucial role in shaping the plot and themes of the story. The stark contrast between the wealthy but frail Eloi and the underground-dwelling but strong Morlocks highlights social and class divisions. This setting allows Wells to explore themes of evolution, societal decay, and the consequences of industrialization.
The Time Traveller initially assumes that the Eloi, who live above ground in luxury, are a higher evolved species and the Morlocks, who live underground, are a primitive working class sub-species. He believes there is a symbiotic relationship between them where the Morlocks provide for the Eloi's needs.
The Morlocks are Troglodyte-like creatures who live mostly underground .

The Time Machine By H.G.Wells
There are two future races, the basically evil and brutish Morlocks- and the intellectual but somewhat (sappy) Eloi. I am referring to the H G Wells novel. For some bizarre and unfathomable reason, he makes the lead character- called the Time Traveller, anonymous, which is in itself a handicap- for example in dialogue.
