so where did ungoliant come from anyway
someone explain that to me
Oliver Roberts
The Void, the area outside of the bubble of normality that the Iluvatar created.
Wyatt Ward
What information we get on Ungoliant is scattered, often contradictory, and definitely inconsistent with the rest of Arda's cosmology.
She's at time stated to be a maiar in semi-service to Morgoth, some sort of primeval spirit of darkness, something that came from "beyond" the void, or just a big fat question mark.
Interestingly, there are a number of parallels between her and Tom Bombadil, being powerful, enigmantic spirits that don't cleanly fit into the cosmology and important characters being unaware of them when they really "shouldn't" be.
I've always favored a narrative drift hypothesis for Tom, and while I've never sketched one out for Ungoliant, you could probably do something similar.

ungoliant could be a different version of the melkor myth, similar to how melkor was more loki like in early versions of the destruction of the lamps
Robert Perry
Possibly, but I'm not so sure. Going from a trickster loki-like figure to a satan like corrupting figure is one thing. Pretty much all the versions of Ungoliant have her associated with primeval darkness and a force of pure uncreation. She seems more like Apep from Egyptian mythology, or other ravening forces of chaos.
I'm talking out of my ass here, but I would guess a leftover from an entirely different mythology/religion.

Is there some sort of timeline for the Silmarillion?
Only I'm trying to figure out how long it was between Feanor's people arriving in Middle-Earth and Fingolfin's people turning up.
