Personally, i thought of her as a sort of hairy crustacean.
As it was hard to stab her, as if she had a hard shell, but also the hairy darker texture of a spider.
i never imagine stuff when i read. i just, read. i used to but i got to where i read so much it didn't matter how the characters looked. it just mattered about they're personalities. but i don't ever remember imagining shelob as anything but a spider. even now i imagine her as a cartoon spider. like charlotte in charlotte's web. lol. sad

I did it spoil it for my other older brother though
