Shelob appears to the dying Talion in a vision, revealing her reasons for helping him and urging him to take Isildur's Ring of Power and keep fighting. Shelob's efforts to sow mistrust between Talion and Celebrimbor ultimately result in Talion seeing the undead elf for the aspiring tyrant he is, causing Celebrimbor to take the New Ring and possess Eltariel, leaving Talion for dead. Weakened by the battle and Eltariel's Light of Galadriel, Shelob returns the New Ring to Talion and retreats into her lair. Shelob is able to hold her own against the wraiths, who are repelled by Talion and Eltariel. When Talion fails to prevent Minas Ithil and its palantir from falling into the hands of the Nazgûl, Sauron learns that Shelob has been conspiring against him and sends the Nazgûl to kill her. She shows Talion visions of Minas Ithil's downfall and transformation into Minas Morgul, sending Gollum - who worships her as the Dark Mistress - to assist him. To prevent this vision from coming to pass, she abducts Celebrimbor and forces Talion to relinquish the New Ring to her. Surrounded by soldiers, Shelob slaughtered them in rage and retreated to Cirith Ungol, swearing revenge.Īfter the forging of the New Ring, Shelob has a vision of Talion and Celebrimbor overthrowing and enslaving Sauron before going on to conquer Middle-earth as the Bright Lord. In the Second Age, Shelob had been Sauron's ally and lover prior to him betraying her for an opportunity to corrupt Suladân with a Ring of Power. She holds great scorn towards Sauron and also distrusts Celebrimbor. She also has the ability to fight the Nazgûl physically and can grant visions. Shelob appears in Middle-earth: Shadow of War, and unlike any other incarnation of the character, has the ability to transform into a human woman with black hair and clad in ink-black robes. Shelob is mentioned in Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor in two artifacts, the Crushed Spider Egg and the Torn Banner. She still wishes to invade and take back Mordor, and take revenge on Sauron.

Her brood still infest portions of Mordor. Mordor was once her homeland, and she was an ally of Sauron before Sauron forced her into the mountains.

Where are all the Trolls and Wargs? It seems weird that the developers took their time to create Graugs and Caragors when their equivalents already exist in the Middle-Earth canon.Middle-earth: Shadow of War Shelob is a giant spider and the daughter of Ungoliant.

'Graug' is not the full name of the creature in the game.When they are first introduced, and in the encyclopedia, they are called 'Olog Graug'. Olog is the Elvish word for 'troll', and graug is the elvish word for 'powerful, hostile, terrible'. Graugs are not a new creature, they are literally trolls, just a particular breed of troll. For Caragors, the devs wanted to make something deadlier than Warg, and had advantages like claws for climbing.

Justified in-universe by Torvin the hunter where he said it took him a much, much longer time to learn the ways of the Caragor.

It has been explained that the Caragors have driven out or made extinct, any other competing predators, thus no wargs where you see caragors.

Talion might just not be in the area trolls are found it.

The entry for Graugs say Sauron plans to use them to breed sun-resistant hill trolls.

That's why you don't see Trolls: Mordor is still too sunny for them, until mount Doom covers its sky with ash. It's the same reason all the Orcs in the game are Uruks, (Notice how Talion has to tell his son these aren't regular orcs, but Uruks), you don't see the regular orcs yet because it's also too sunny for them to venture out of the mountains.
