I think that Ungoliant should be added to the list of known Maiar, and be added to the Ainur template. Though it is not ''explicitly'' stated, there are many hints that Ungoliant was indeed a Maia, even in the published version of ''The Silmarillion''. | |||
For example, she is a servant of Melkor that attempted to abandon her master's service prior to the Darkening of Valinor.

Plus, it ''is'' stated that the Maiar have a wide range of power, some even coming close to rivaling their own Vala masters, such as Ossë to Ulmo, or Sauron/Mairon to Aulë.
