Why Tolkien Left Ungoliant's True Nature a Complete Mystery?

She devoured the light of the Two Trees, drove the Dark Lord himself to scream for rescue, and then vanished from history entirely. Yet in all his writings, J.R.R. Tolkien never told us what Ungoliant truly was. This is a deep-dive into the three theories behind Middle-earth's greatest unsolved horror — and why her mystery may have been deliberate. 📖 PRIMARY SOURCES The Silmarillion — Ainulindalë; Valaquenta; "Of the Darkening of Valinor" (Ch. 8); "Of the Flight of the Noldor" (Ch. 9) The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers — "The White Rider" (the Nameless Things) Morgoth's Ring (The History of Middle-earth, Vol. X) The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien All analysis of Ungoliant's cosmic nature is presented as interpretation. Tolkien left her origin unresolved — and this video preserves that mystery rather than inventing an answer. 🕯️ Which theory do you believe?
