She lived in the pass of Cirith Ungol, located just above the Winding Stair and on the boarder of Mordor, and preyed on any living creature unfortunate enough to wander into her lair. She is one of the Great Spiders of Middle-earth and the greatest of the spawn of Ungoliant. Tolkien's novel The Lord of the Rings, specifically in The Two Towers, and a supporting antagonist in Peter Jackson's film adaptation of The Return of the King. Shelob, also known as Shelob the Great, is a supporting antagonist in J.R.R. But still she was there, who was there before Sauron, and before the first stone of Barad-dûr and she served none but herself, drinking the blood of Elves and Men, bloated and grown fat with endless brooding on her feasts, weaving webs of shadow for all living things were her food, and her vomit darkness. How Shelob came there, flying from ruin, no tale tells, for out of the Dark Years few tales have come. There agelong she had dwelt, an evil thing in spider-form, even such as once of old had lived in the Land of the Elves in the West that is now under the Sea, such as Beren fought in the Mountains of Terror in Doriath, and so came to Lúthien upon the green sward amid the hemlocks in the moonlight long ago. ~ Gollum referring to Shelob killing Frodo and Sam for him.
