“Far, far below the deepest delving of the Dwarves, the world is gnawed by nameless things. Even Sauron knows them not. They are older than he." -Gandalf

how is ungoliant not on this list but her offspring is? Morgoth only defeated her with his balrogs, and wasn’t able to by himself. She had more power than anyone else with her size and the light from the two trees

I feel you man about the spider. My parents showed me a arachnophobia when I was a kid. It changed me.

Ungoliant definitely deserved a spot on the list, if anything tied with Morgoth himself.

What about Ungoliant? (Hope I spelled that right) Didn't she almost kill Morgoth? It took his Balrogs to save him from her.
