Removed: The great spider Shelob spawned many smaller spiders, whom Sauron introduced into Mirkwood.. Source for this please? I do not deny they and she may be related, but I personally believe both Shelob and the Mirkwood spiders are descendants of Ungoliante's breed in Ered Gorgoroth. — Jor 16:48, 19 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Found my own source. Re-introducing part of the phrase. — Jor 20:03, 19 Jan 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Woodmen?

Doesn't the Hobbit (and perhaps LOTR) mention woodmen living in the central portions of the forest? Presumably they're related to the Beornings. john k 18:40, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
