What happened to Shelob after Lord of the Rings?

"Shelob was gone; and whether she lay long in her lair, nursing her malice and her misery, and in slow years of darkness healed herself from within, rebuilding her clustered eyes, until with hunger like death she spun once more her dreadful snares in the glens of the Mountain of Shadow, this tale does not tell."

Are aragog and Shelob related?

Aragog, the Forbidden Forest-dwelling spider from Harry Potter, is probably influenced by Shelob, the spider that lived in the Ephel Dúath mountains, near Mordor. ...

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets In the film version of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Aragog was a massive animatronic creature.

Why did Sauron turn evil?

Although Sauron's origins are angelic, he becomes captivated by the idea of ordering things as per his own will, which might be a possible reason behind him being lured by Morgoth, a Dark Lord who corrupted countless souls and waged wars against Elves and Men throughout the First Age.

Why didn't Gandalf use more magic?

Why do spiders fear basilisks?

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince Aragog remained in the Forbidden Forest for the rest of his life, but eventually died of old age in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

Why did Morgoth turn evil?

Was Gimli the last dwarf?

No, Gimli was not the last of his dwarven race. Even when he went to the Council of Elrond he was in the company of his father Glóin. ... Then, after the events of the Lord of the Rings, Gimli established a new kingdom in the fourth age, and become the Lord of Glittering Caves or Aglarond.

Who is more powerful Gandalf the White or Saruman?

Why is Gandalf useless?

Gandalf was sent by the valar (holy ones) to aid elves and men against Sauron. He was forbidden to gain power or hold lordship over people or openly challenge Sauron. The wizards were sent to advise and council all the free folk. This is enough to show that you have not read the books, hehehe.
