Shelob, the King’s Return, falls under the sword of Sam, who finds in one of the eyes of the spider the only soft spot in his body and thus perforated. The final blow came from Pungolo, the sword that Bilbo had donated to Frodo in Gran Burrone before embarking on the dangerous journey to Monte Fato: seriously injured, so for the first time in his life the great spider was forced to flee from Cirith Ungol and find shelter elsewhere, without telling anyone where he really went to hide.
After the War of the Ring and the destruction of Sauron and the One, it is likely that Shelob has returned to his den, now no longer used as a secret passage for the lands of Mordor and then relegated to a simple hideout without any kind of vellness exploratory. In the version told in the Shadow of the War Shelob is a spider, as has already been mentioned, that appears under the clothes of a woman, capable of visions all the time and ready to any dislocation, even to be able to tell her in the Ring War .
As a woman, rather than a spider that she could not speak, the character gets a much more impressive, important connotation, and becomes something much more exploding in the tears of her tears and psyche.

His presence was even known to Sauron, who from Melkor’s pupil had been able to cross Ungoliant and knew that he was the only one, besides Melian, to have had a progeny between the Maia: the relationship between the Dark Lord and the great spider, however, seemed to be non-belligerent.
The one did not bother the other, especially after Shelob’s declaration of independence, which from his den was guarding the passage leading to Monte Fato, thus securing tranquility at Sauron, especially when he was privy to the Ring , he no longer had the proper force to transfigure into something else or to move from his hiding place.
It was precisely in this scenario that Shelob contacted Frodo Baggins and Samvise Gamgee, who were trapped in Gollum’s trap, needing to respect the clothes with the big spider and bring all the food he needs to his livelihood.
Not having the Beleriand terror and no interest in the Ring, they would have eaten them and then left the precious jewel forged by Celebrimbor right in Gollum: the lack of interest in such a powerful object, its relationship over the parties to the ‘huge power he could give, he will also be re-launched at the beginning de The Shadow of War ,
