Ungoliant (Sindarin pronunciation: /ʊŋ. gɔl. jant/) is a fictional character in J. R. R. Tolkien’s legendarium, described as an evil spirit in the form of a spider. She is mentioned briefly in The Lord of the Rings, and plays a supporting role in The Silmarillion.

How did Ungoliant beat melkor?

I suggest that after Ungoliant devoured herself, this also happened to her. Regarding her defeating Melkor, Tolkien wrote that she became very strong because she’d sucked out the light of the Two Trees (which had lit up the whole of Valinor), thus presumably giving her the power to combat Melkor.

Why did they make Shelob a woman?

For that, we need to look to her ancestry. Shelob’s mother was Ungoliant, who is described by Tolkien as an evil spirit taking the form of a spider. So, there you have it – Shelob takes on human form both because it’s in her power to do so, and also because she has a need to involve herself in Talion’s quest.

Why didn’t Sauron ever find Bilbo when he put on the ring?

The Reason why Sauron doesn’t find Bilbo when he puts on the Ring is because putting on the Ring isn’t enough for Sauron to find you. Sauron was noteffective at finding Frodo; Frodo wore the Ring at least 4 times (out of 6) without Sauron finding him. Frodo’s troubles when using the Ring occur in very specific circumstances:

Where does Sauron not find Frodo in The Lord of the Rings?

In the House of Tom Bombadil: Sauron doesn’t find Frodo. In the Prancing Pony: Sauron doesn’t find Frodo. On Weathertop: Sauron doesn’t find Frodo, but Frodo puts the Ring on in the presence of the Nazgul who are then able to physically harm him.

Did Sauron become more powerful with time?

Sauron sought Gollum before Bilbo wore the ring at his birthday party, slightly after that time, he was very effective at locating Frodo when Frodo put on the ring. So I guess it’s not a matter of Sauron gaining any extra powers with time.

Does wearing the one ring reveal the wearer to Sauron?

If I understand this correctly, now that he’s in Mordor, wearing the ring will reveal Sam to Sauron’s eye. The conclusion is that if a person is not in Mordor wearing the ring would not reveal the wearer to Sauron. In addition the reason for this is also given above, the One Ring grew in power once it was in Mordor.
