"Then Fëanor rose, and lifting up his hand before Manwë he cursed Melkor, naming him Morgoth, the Black Foe of the World; and by that name only was he known to the Eldar ever after." (midwest.social)

The giant spiders weren’t Morgoths minions though. If you’d call Ungoliant serving Morgoth, Shelob would count as serving Sauron just as well.

I'd say Morgoth and The Ungoliant had a much closer working relationship than Sauron and Shelob. Partners in crime might be more apt

I mean, Sauron gives Shelobs snacks and treats it, per Tolkien's words, like he's throwing dainties to a cat, so it's having a partner in dark deeds vs having a pet.

Yeah but neither is a minion there. Morgoth thought Ungoliant to be his minion while acting as if she’d be his partner, which blew up in his face
