With Ike Amadi, Victoria Atkin, Robin Atkin Downes, Laura Bailey. The sequel to the critically acclaimed Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor (2014) features an original story with the return of Talion and Celebrimbor, who must go behind enemy lines to forge an army and turn all of Mordor against the Dark Lord Sauron. Shelob takes the same form, of course, but the point remains - Ungoliant is a spirit choosing to take the form of a spider, and so is Shelob. Directed by JB Blanc, Michael de Plater, Nathan Hendrickson.

Shelob Human Form During much of Shadow of War, Shelob appears before Talion in her human form. de Plater pounced on this detail to explain not only how Shelob can take human form, but why she is so intertwined with Talion and Celebrimbor's quest in the first place. Sauron has his war form and he has his fair form, and Shelob, you could think of the spider as Shelob's war form, and her fair form she uses when she counsels Talion.

During an interview at San Diego Comic-Con she said Warner Bros had used motion capture on her which helped style and create the character's human form you see in the trailer. She can read the web of fate. Shelob is voiced by the 38 year old Scottish born actress, writer and director, Pollyanna McIntosh. Shelob takes the same form, of course, but the point remains - Ungoliant is a spirit choosing to take the form of a spider, and so is Shelob. Her black dress has eight straps that represent the eight legs of a spider. The idea behind the creators of the game with Shelob's human form was: Because a talking spider would've been strange, They had Shelob interact with Sauron and assume she was this divine god-like spirit that was equal to Sauron, To "weave the fate" of Thalion in the same way Galadriel guided Frodo, and to do that as a spider would be confusing..
