Mmm, yeah. There's quite a bit of doubt about her that I've heard, but I'm trying to reserve judgement.
I don't think we ever hear about it. I suppose since The Silmarillion is supposed to be the Elvish histories and they were more concerned with "Ai Valar! How do we kill it?" than breeding or where exactly Morgoth got them from. And by LotR they're all supposed to be extinct, anyway, so that might excuse some of the brushing aside he did.
Although, I think Balrogs were supposed to be too and look how that turned out...
I'm not entirely sure that they ever will be brought up, or if they are, then it won't be more than a couple of lines I should think. Unless they flasshback to Thrain, since he was supposed to have been wearing the ring when he went missing, but that would be...yeah. Slightly horrifying.
