I know that Ungoliant was in the form of a giant spider when she and Melkor attaked the Two Trees of Valinor, but what was she to start? Was she a Maia gone bad? If so why didn't she obey Melkor as he was the starter of all evil and all other evil things were under his reign? Or was she on offspring of the Great Dischord that Melkor sang in the Music of the Ainur?
