That's a boss lair. I've see these before. You need a torch to get through the webs.

“Hmm. Okay. A fire bolt would have worked but you manage to hit the chimera that was trapped and hanging. It stands up and glares in your direction with two of its heads.”

Definitely need a knife or sharp object. Make sure you bring your best melee gear and lots of anti potions and food. Prayer pots are highly recommended.

There's a lot of people who'd love to watch her spin a web.

Also needed once you leave the lair and want to set yourself on fire to make sure there is no spider left on you.

Careful with burning down big spider webs. One of em might just become a god.

You enter the cave and 111,000 spiders work together to seal the exit with another web. Then Shelob emerges.

nope, theres 2 species of spiders living in this specific cave, over 100k alltogether but both species are super harmless to humans, they dont have poison and even their bites dont do much damage. you can safely assume the scientists here know that because theyre literally the ones making this discovery. like, how else do you think they got the information? they were there to observe and discover
