• "The Tower of Cirith Ungol and Shelob's Lair" features plans of the fortress Cirith Ungol and its surrounding catacombs and includes game statistics for Shelob.
• This spider was described by director Peter Jackson as the inspiration for his depiction of Shelob in his "The Lord of the Rings" film adaptation.
• In 1999 he completed a Master's degree in Computer Animation at Bournemouth University, and then moved to New Zealand where he worked on Peter Jackson's "The Lord of the Rings" film trilogy, as a texture painter, creating digital textures for the Balrog, Mûmakil, Fellbeast and Shelob.
• She is credited as an inspiration for J.R.R. Tolkien's characters as diverse as Shelob and Galadriel.
• Shelob is a major character in the video game "Middle-earth: Shadow of War", where she serves as both the narrator and an ally to player character Talion. In the game, Shelob shape-shifts to assume the form of an attractive woman. Following criticism of this decision, the creative director Michael de Plater explained that Gollum and Shelob were "the unsung heroes of "The Lord of the Rings": Shelob senses Frodo's weakness and makes a pact with Gollum to hasten him to Mount Doom and destroy the ring. De Plater envisioned Shelob as a dark counterpart to Galadriel, noting how both manipulate lesser beings, but that Shelob is more honest.

• The Anglican priest and scholar of literature Alison Milbank writes that Shelob is undeniably sexual: "Tolkien offers a most convincing Freudian "vagina dentata" (toothed vagina) in the ancient and disgustingly gustatory spider Shelob." The Tolkien scholar and medievalist Jane Chance mentions "Sam's penetration of her belly with his sword", noting that this may be an appropriate and symbolic way of ending her production of "bastards".
• She co-edited the "J. R. R. Tolkien Encyclopedia", and contributed four articles to it on topics including Old Norse literature and the giant spider Shelob.
• "Ochyrocera laracna" is a species of spiders of the family Ochyroceratidae. It is endemic to Brazil. It was named after Shelob ("Laracna" in Portuguese), giant spider from J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings".
• In episode 8, "Tuomiovuori" ("Mount Doom"), Gollum guides Frodo and Sam to the Black Gate, which proves to be impassable, and then brings them to Cirith Ungol, where Frodo is paralysed by Shelob.
