"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)

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
