      That’s Shelob. Which counts! We got 5!

      Edit: actually nevermind, you were right. Ungoliant is also a giant spider

        Specifically, Shelob’s mom, IIRC. Which means, unlike Shelob, Ungoliant’s sex actually matters to the story.

          Shelob is the mother of the mirkwood spiders isn’t she? Those spiders were never identified as male or female, so I assume they don’t have any lesser children.
