This article is about the monster in dNetHack and its derivatives. For the monster in other variants, see Shelob.

Shelob, s, is a unique monster that appears in dNetHack, notdNetHack and notnotdNetHack. She is a large, carnivorous and oviparous arachnid being that is chaotic and an overlord to spider-kind: she is strong and can cling to ceilings, hide under objects in spite of her large size, and will follow a hero to other levels if she is adjacent. Shelob has 7 points of AC in the 'natural' category. As an arachnid being, Shelob may trigger the "arachnaphobia" madness.

Shelob has a strong vampiric bite, a poisonous sting that drains strength, and a kick attack that spreads webbing. She possesses poison resistance and stoning resistance.

Shelob is poisonous to consume and eating Shelob's corpse or tin, or quaffing her blood, grants poison resistance.

Generation

Shelob is always generated hostile, and is not a valid polymorph form or genocide target.

Shelob is generated within the Spider Cave of the Mordor Ruins quest, where she is placed on a random square at level creation.
