Ungoliant - The Silmarillion

When I saw this model placed next to the model for my Morgoth Custom, the resemblance of Ungoliant was prominent, so I decided to give a shot at making her!

UNGOLIANT - Silmarillion

Actual figure image
Spoiler Alert!


Figure name: Phase Spider - Nolzur’s Marvelous Minis

My Melkor custom had quite a few changes to get where he is. This is my first rendition of Ungoliant, so changes are liable to be made. There is a lot of wording on this card.

I couldn't recall much of Ungoliants background and characteristics, so the "One Wiki to Rule Them All" page on her was a good reference.

Her 3 abilities all follow her character theme.

Monstrous Growth relates to the affect had on her through absorbing/draining energy from foes, gems and the light from the trees of Valinor, resulting in her monstrous enlarged form.

Unsatiable Hunger relates to her rumored eventual demise, devouring herself, caused by her ever-growing hunger, and is used to keep Monstrous Growth in check.

Web Weave was an attempt at making her more interesting combatively and to bring in theme from the events of her trapping Morgoth in her dark webs, resulting in Morgoth crying out to his Balrogs which awaken to free him.
