Fluithuin was an ogress according to the early version of the Legendarium in The Book of Lost Tales.
Gothmog is described as the son of Melko and the ogress Fluithuin or Ulbandi.[1] Both 'ogresses' and the idea that the Valar had children were discarded by Tolkien fairly early on.

Etymology
Both the Gnomish name Fluithuin and the Qenya Ulbandi are of unclear meaning, although the element ulban(d) means "monster".[2]
