In The Lord of the Rings, Frodo and Sam, guided by Gollum, faced a terrifying surprise at the pass of Cirith Ungol as they attempted to enter Mordor: the giant spider Shelob. Shelob was the daughter of Ungoliant, one of the very few beings who managed to harm Melkor in the First Age. But how did Shelob come to dwell at the doorstep of Mordor? Why did Sauron allow the powerful daughter of Ungoliant, who had harmed his own master, to live right under his nose?
