Haha...
Shelob being Beren's rescuer! That would be too funny!
But wouldn't that a bit undermine Beren's unnamed heroic deed? Like..overcoming his enslaver, breaking his chains? Not that it could't work...
Would we somehow use those dark idols Tolkien mentioned in the early version, in lost tales? I always imagined those must have depicted the spiderdemons with whom ungolianth had mated and whom she presumably ate... and the people who made them, possibly being Beorians themselves, folk from Ered Gorgoroth and Dor Dínen who sought to ward off the great spiders by superstitious rites and sacrifices.
At last that was what i wrote in MY fanon.
However:
From a storytelling pov that could be an interesting way to spare us time and a decision, by working Barahir's death, Berens revenge on Gorgol, INTO such a nightmarevision scenario that happens in Dungortheb in form of visions, nightmares and flashbacks... that COULD be interesting , i guess?
