Ungoliant (Mother of Shelob) & the Spiders of the First Age | Tolkien Explained

This is Nerd of the Rings, bringing you Messages from Middle Earth. Today they present: Ungoliant was a great terror in spider form. But where did Ungoliant come from? And where did she go after nearly killing Morgoth? We'll cover Ungoliant's complete life and travels, including how she and her spawn led to the renaming of mountains and valleys for the terror they instilled and the harm they inflicted. The Ered Gorgoroth (Mountains of Terror) and Nan Dungortheb (the Valley of Dreadful Death) would be one of the most dark and evil places in all Beleriand. Hit subscribe - and the bell!
