It is said in the Silmarillion that Thingol alone mingled with one of the divine race (i.e. the Ainur); of which the blood of the divine people came through Lúthien unto the mortal Númenórean kings. It makes me wonder then the particular case of Ungoliant. She, if considered a Maia, would have bred monsters with Maia blood, like Shelob. Would they retain some powers like shape-shifting (looking at Shadow of War's Stoya Shelob form).
