'''Shelob''', {{black|s}}, is a [[unique]] [[monster]] that appears in [[dNetHack]], [[notdNetHack]] and [[notnotdNetHack]]. She is a [[large]], [[carnivorous]] and [[oviparous]] [[arachnid]] being that is an [[overlord]] to [[Spider (monster attribute)|spider-kind]]: she is [[strong]] and can cling to [[ceiling]]s, [[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 (damage type)|vampiric]] [[bite]], a [[poisonous]] [[sting]] that drains [[strength]], and a kick attack that spreads [[webbing]]. She possesses [[poison resistance]] and [[stoning resistance]].

[[Eating]] Shelob's [[corpse]] or [[tin]], or [[quaffing]] her [[Potion of blood (dNetHack)|blood]], grants [[poison resistance]].
