Why Shelob is a Woman

Easter Eggs

Shelob is indeed the same Shelob from Lord of the Rings, despite appearing here as a human woman instead of a giant spider. The developers made this decision because Shelob’s mother Ungoliant chose to take the form of a spider, and therefore Shelob might also have the ability to take other forms. They also viewed Shelob as a dark parallel to Galadriel.

Assassin's Creed reference

Easter Eggs

In an Orc village, it is possible to overhear one Orc say “I’m an assassin,” to which another responds, “We’re all assassins. It’s like a creed.” This is a reference to the Assassin’s Creed series, possible as a nod to how the movement system in the first game, Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, was repeatedly compared to Assassin’s Creed.
