Like Feanor (always a bad sign) I'm inclined to distrust Shelob. Her defence has a smack of desperation about it. Back to her anon.

As for why the wolves killed Eomer, methinks that his fatal mistake was in letting this slip:

"I'm already extremely important to the village. I'm the village doctor. Read into that."

Easy enough for a wolf to do just that; and, inexperienced enough not to fear a bluff, or bold enough to brave one, they struck. They thought they had the Ranger in their claws; by chance it was also Eomer who set in motion their comrade's fate, even as it was I who sealed it.

Now, cui bono, lords and ladies? What do we think the wolves did yesterday?

By my understanding, no less than two-Thinlomien and Shelob-fell into a trap purposely laid by Feanor, not called for nothing a siren who lures unfortunates to bewailed doom. Luckily for us, she lured two wolves.

She had spotted the Ranger clue, but thought the wolves might not, if you ask me. Evidently however they did. I would suggest that

1. They only noticed it retrospectively in the Night

2. (more likely) The third wolf, a Third Man esque mystery figure, was wise to the Ranger hint. How they must have groaned to see their companions blithely follow Fea's bait! Presumably they voted for Eonwe in between writing a missive to Barad-Dur to send them some more competent packmates...

Anyway, by this thesis Shelob is furry, whatever the poor damsel in question says.
