One of Middleearth's many mysteries is Ungoliant: where did she come from, and how did she change the history of the world? Most importantly, what was Ungoliant truly? Was she a child of darkness? A Maia? Or a creation of Melkor? In this video, we delve into what we know about Ungoliant, the mother of Shelob from The Lord of the Rings, and share our theory on her true nature.
