Evil entity in spider form. Shelob's body was vast and bloated and her wrinkled hide was thick and tough with no weak spots. Her upper body was black with markings and her belly was a luminous white and gave off a terrible stench. Her legs had knobbed joints that bent above her back. Each leg was covered with stiff hairs and ended in a claw. Her neck was a short stalk and on her head were great horns and two clusters of multi-faceted eyes. She secreted venom through a beak around her mouth.
