	Ungoliant - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		In the form Ungoliant the name is technically Sindarin, but is a direct loan from Quenya ungwë liantë: "dark spider"; the strictly Sindarin form being Delduthling "dark terror spider." She is also called "gloomweaver," Wirilomë in Quenya, Gwerlum in Sindarin.
		Ungoliant aided Melkor in his attack on the Two Trees of Valinor; she drained the Trees of their sap and poisoned them after Melkor wounded them, and she drained dry the Wells of Varda, so that nothing remained of the Light that was before Sun or Moon, except in the Silmarils of Fëanor.
		He refused to give them to the Great Spider to be devoured, for he desired them greatly, and Ungoliant would have slain Melkor in the ensuing battle had not the Balrogs come and saved their master, causing Ungoliant to flee to the Ered Gorgoroth in Beleriand.

	Magic by Melkor, No Returns Accepted
		So, the question arises of whether there was some other "magic" element that Ungoliant was feeding upon, or if she was simply feeding on the essence of the gemstones themselves.
		When Ungoliant sucked the life from the Two Trees and then drank the liquid light from the Wells of Varda she grew to an immense size.
		So Ungoliant was able to feed not only upon the essence of the Noldorin jewels but also the power Feanor (and any other crafters) had put into them.

		Now after that, nothing was ever seen or heard of Ungoliant again, but it is certain she fled to Ered Gorgoroth, mating with lesser spiders and devouring them, leaving that place a place of dread, shunned by any living being, save those of evil purpose.

	The Reading Room \|\| Lord of the Rings Reading and Writing Workshop
		Ungoliant was not a corrupted elf, nor was she one of the Maiar, actually it is possible that she was not even a creation of Eru.
		Ungoliant was a being of pure darkness, and if you remember before Ea there was no light, but Ungoliant fed upon light, and anything else she could find for that matter.
		Tolkien fans, myself definitely not in the least, tend to think of his writing as perfect and he can do no wrong and everything must have a purpose, and the benefit of reading a review by a 'virgin' is that he's not corrupted by love of the work...

		Ungoliant could consume even the light of the trees, which is the substance (rarified and removed several steps) used in the phial...
		I think Shelob was Ungoliant's direct offspring and the "last" part meant that all the other direct offspring had died, so that Shelob was the last surviving one.
		Also, as it is likely that Ungoliant like Shelob mated with her own offspring, it is realistic to suppose Shelob had considerably over 50% of Ungoliant's genes.

		Ungoliant is probably stronger than Smaug but both of them have their advantages/strong points in relation to another.
		Ungoliant was beaten back when she caught Morgoth by his Balrogs, which aren't nearly as strong as dragons.
		Let Ungoliant vomit forth vapors of darkness and when smaug flies thoruhg those vapors i think then he would be snared by ungoliants webs.

		But Ungoliant is powerful and the spiders in Mirk wood and even Shelob doesn't seem very um...special.
		Ungoliant was a spirit of evil that inhabited spider form> She was a maia probably corrupted by Melkor but in Arda she served only her insatiable hunger.
		I don't think she is infact a maia as musch as a mythic personification of darkness in the same way as Bombadil is a personification of the earth(refer to the council of elrond).

		However: your light source provides energy to ungoliant through her storm of unlight, which every turn absorbs ~30 squares * 500 / 4 for about 3000 hp every turn, which will make it extermely hard to fight her that way.
		I have made her powerful here, since she was powerful in silmarillion, but it should not be difficult to come up with ways to make other uniques unique too.

	What was Ungoliant? [Archive] - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum
		Athena, took pity on her by turning her into a spider (one advantage of being a god is that you don't have to make sense).
		I've always assumed that she just liked looking like a repulsively bloated spider, or that it matched her personality so well that it was the easiest form for her to assume.
		Similarly, when Ungoliant went over to Melkor in the beginning, she had the shape of a spider forced upon her by Vaire.

		Melkor took Ungoliant to the Two Trees of the Valar in Valinor, which at the time were the only light source for Middle-Earth.
		Ungoliant consumed the Two Trees of the Valar and thus robbed Middle-Earth of light, which caused plants and creatures alike to die.
		Now Ungoliant ravaged Middle-Earth, consuming everything insight, until she eventually settled in the dark valley of Ered Gorgoroth where it is said that she remained until hunger overcame her and she consumed her own bulk, thus ending her days.

		: In Ungoliant's case, my impression was always of her darkness simply : flowing out, sort of like a supernatural viscous goo.
		We actually have much more detailed descriptions of Ungoliant and her Unlight than we do of the Balrog, and we see Ungoliant use her darkness in multiple ways.
		Of course her darkness is described in many different ways, as a cloud, as webs, as thongs, as Unlight, and perhaps those are all different things.
