I thought of that too.

Ungoliant seem like this void of moral ruin! She is the incarnation of the sins of death! She is not only darkness, but she is infact unlight!

The thing is you cannot have good, with out evil. There for Ungoliant has to appear, so when Eru creates all she is automatical createt too.

A theory I have read about is that Ungoliant is a manifistation of the evil in Morgoth's soul, a evil that grew independent of him. Because she is only the evil in him, she is darker than darkness.

Last comment: The whole thing of beeing darker than darkness seems to bee the most important thing about Ungoliant and I think that it holds the answer to her origin.
