Great Spiders of Mirkwood
Descendants of Shelob, not as powerful as Shelob yet they were still large ghastly creatures. Shelob had many spawn and some of her mates included her offspring.
Some of Shelob's offspring moved from the Mountains of Shadow on the border of Mordor to Mirkwood. Evil creatures (trolls orc's etc) began to populate the forest after Sauron came to live there at Dol Guldur around the year 1050 of the Third Age.
In the Northern part of Mirkwood there dwelled a colony, as well as south (were Dol Guldor stood). The Spiders would capture and eat Elves through out Mirkwood, dangling them in webs from tree's. The elves hated them so, being the only creatures they would show no mercy. But they could not exterminate them, so there race went on.
In 2941, Great Spiders captured Fili, Kili, Balin, Dwalin, Bifur, Bofur, Bombur, Oin, Gloin, Dori, Nori, and Ori, who were passing through Mirkwood on the way to the Lonely Mountain. One Spider tried to capture their companion Bilbo Baggins but the Hobbit managed to escape. Bilbo killed the Spider with his Elvish sword, which he then named Sting.
Sting, stone's and the One Ring that turned him invisible Bilbo lured the Great spiders from the Dwarves. He cut them down, which angered the Spiders Greatly, they attacked Bilbo and the Dwarves once more. But the feared Sting and eventually gave up returning to there colony.
When Sauron was defeated at the end of the Third Age the Shadow wad lifted from the forest, Dol Guldor destroyed and all evil was driven from the forest, meaning the end of the Great Spiders.
