Ungoliant - the evil spirit & queen of the Giant Spiders that roamed Middle Earth.

I am not keen on spiders in the real world at the best of times, but given how Tolkien describes the Great Spiders from The Silmarillion, that even the great Melkor himself feared her and ultimately suffered her wrath.

I think of Shelob, but on a much more greater, more terrifying scale than the spider that attacked Frodo. Ungoliant is like my worst ever nightmare, a nightmare that lasts a lifetime of unwoken dread & fear
