Shelob the spider was a vile and evil monster in Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings. She was the spawn of Ungoliant, one of the most terrible creatures to have walked in Middle-earth. Thank you all so much for watching, let me know your thoughts on Shelob in the comments below! As always, a great thanks to the online artists whose visual works made this video possible!
