Lindolirian has just left Hobbiton.
Tolkien
As for Ungoliant,

But they think that she was some sort of spirit that took shape of a spider. Shelob was her last child. The spiders of Mirkwood were her offspring. read the chapter Shelob's Lair in the Two Towers. Ther's a good page or two on her history.
