Ungoliant is the namesake of Nemesia ungoliant, a species of Nemesiidae spiders which was described in 2007.

Lammoth means " the Great Echo ", and it is so named because it is where Morgoth and Ungoliant fled after the darkening of Valinor and Morgoth's theft of the Silmarils.

Ungoliant means " dark spider " in the fictional Sindarin language.

* The similar character Ungoliant from The Silmarillion by J. R. R. Tolkien.

Ungoliant aided the evil Vala Melkor in his attack upon the Two Trees of Valinor, draining them of their sap after Melkor had injured them.

Ungoliant helped Melkor evade the Valar by shrouding them both in her impenetrable darkness, causing blindness and confusion amongst the hosts of the Valar that attempted to intercept them.

Melkor had promised Ungoliant that he would yield anything she wished in return for her aid, but betrayed this promise by attempting to withhold the Silmarils from her.

This angered Ungoliant, who, having grown immensely powerful from ingesting the life force of the Two Trees, trapped Melkor in her webs.

At this point he gave out a cry of such fear and intensity that it was heard in the depths of Angband, and the Balrogs rushed to the aid of their master, scourging Ungoliant with their whips of flame.

Ungoliant fled to the Ered Gorgoroth in Beleriand.

Ungoliant has been the subject of several heavy metal music songs.

On their 2006 album The Morrigan's Call, the Irish Celtic metal band Cruachan featured a song " Ungoliant " as well as one named after Shelob.

When Melkor returned to Middle-earth from Valinor, now bearing the epithet Morgoth, he was attacked by Ungoliant, a spider-like creature ; and his piercing scream drew the Balrogs out of hiding to his rescue.

After the destruction of the Two Trees by Melkor, she wept on their remains, cleansing the filth of Ungoliant, and helping to nurture the fruit and the flower that became the Sun and the Moon.

Although she represents Mercy, Compassion and Healing, her powers seem to include growth, as she was instrumental, together with Yavanna, in making the Two Trees, and healing their wounds from the poison of Ungoliant.

Melkor destroyed the Two Trees of Valinor with the help of Ungoliant ( bringing an endless night to Valinor ), and fled back to Middle-earth, to his other stronghold, Angband.

Ungoliant, an ancient evil being who chose the form of a great spider, lived in Avathar.

When Melkor was released from captivity, he fled to Avathar, scaled the mountains with the help of Ungoliant, and wrought destruction in Aman: he persuaded Ungoliant to kill the Two Trees of Valinor and take from them what energy she could to quench her hunger, as Ungoliant ( see also Shelob ) was always hungry.

Soon after with the aid of Ungoliant he slew the Two Trees, and coming to Formenos he killed Finwë, stole the Silmarils and departed from Aman.

Meanwhile, Melkor went to Avathar in the south of Aman to seek out Ungoliant.

Melkor and Ungoliant then went to Formenos, slew Finwë, and took the three Silmarils.

Jealous Melkor, later named Morgoth by Fëanor, enlisted the help of the giant spider-creature Ungoliant ( the first great spider, ancestor of Shelob, and possibly a fallen Maia ) to destroy the Two Trees.
