that is what she was.

I don't think it is told anywhere as a fact that Ungoliant was what I stated above. It is commonly accepted though.

my recolection is that it was one of the ainur who was corrupted by melkor during the music of the ainur and seeing the fire imperishible set within the void was drawn to it and was become manifest as a thing of shadow.

I'm pretty sure that The Silmarillion says that but also says that it is rumored but not known for sure by anyone.

that is after all the only real reference i can think of
