Hmm.. I was under the impression that the spider was IT's most natural form... well other than the 'lights'...

I guess you're right thou about the evil part... We can't really call any of them evil as they were mostly just fighting for survival. Although to me it still seems that Ungoliant only wanted to devour eveything simply because she could, and not because she needed all of it as sustenance.

I guess spiders are a universal fear but surely that can't just be because they look and move creepily; there must be some myth that set he fear off. Maybe the Native American Indians views had something to do with this... It could stem from a fear of the unknown and maybe a fear that something had power over you or power to destroy the whole cosmos and therefore you, if it had the power to create it ...
