The Silmarillion/Characters: Difference between revisions

A horrific creature of darkness incarnate as a [[Giant Spider]], Ungoliant's origins and history are unknown, though she might was involved with Melkor on multiple occasions. She aided the Dark Lord in the theft of the Silmarils and the destruction of the Two Trees, but was driven off by the Balrogs after they fell to quarreling over the spoils. She later spawned numerous offspring, including [[The Lord of the Rings|Shelob]], and ultimately was believed to have perished after she ate herself.
