The 9 Dragons of Middle Earth

  • Dragons also are known as the Great Worms were evil creatures seen mostly in the northern Middle-earth. They were greedy, cunning, seductive, and malicious, probably a creation by Morgoth out of fire and sorcery sometime in the First Age. Seeing the strength of the Noldor in battle, Melkor realized that orcs alone were not sufficient to defeat his enemies. He, therefore, began to breed a new race of monsters: the dragons.
    The Father of Dragons was Glaurung, a mighty wyrm with a fearful intelligence and a powerful hypnotic gaze. Glaurung played an integral part in the fate of the Children of Húrin. Among his many crimes were the destruction of the Elf-realm of Nargothrond and a spell cast upon Nienor which stripped her of her memory. This eventually led her to a disastrous reunion and marriage to her long-lost brother Túrin. When Nienor learned the truth of Glaurung's plot, she flung herself to her death. Glaurung was finally slain by Túrin, who afterward committed suicide in reaction to Glaurung's plot. At the Fall of Gondolin, Morgoth's foul host included dragons, "many and terrible". During the War of Wrath, Morgoth unleashed a new terror upon Middle-earth - the winged dragons. Chief among these was Ancalagon the Black. Eventually slain by Eärendil the Mariner, Ancalagon's fall crushed the towers of Thangorodrim. Many of the dragons were destroyed in the War of Wrath but some fled and survived into the later Ages.

      There is a lot of debate over how big Smaug is but we can basically scale his body based on the size of his teeth.
      If his teeth were 18inches (45cm) long the size of a small sword then his body would be about 150ft long or 47m. This is based on the study of dinosaur teeth which by comparison are only 3 to 4 inches long.

    Glaurung was huge but it was his intelligence that made him far worse then the other dragons. He put a spell on Turin & his Sister so they would not know each other as siblings.
    When the two met they fell in love. Turin was able to kill Glaurung but even as he died he still won as his spell was undone and the two memories returned. They both died by their own hand , one by shame and the other by grief.
    Glaurung had many victories over the elves and humans during its life. I doubt any other dragon did as much damage to a culture as Glaurung. Only Smaug most likely came close with its victory at taking the lonely mountain as its lair .

    Even though considering the fact that they scaled up Smaug 8 times when compared to how big he was in the book, Ancalagon the Black may indeed still be larger than movie Smaug, the scale of which we see in the picture of the thumbnail isn’t correct if we are to use movie Smaug.

      @@witchlynproductions753 Yeah Tolkien specified Smaug was "the greatest fire drake of the third age." He wasn't as big as Ancalagon, but neither was any other dragon. Generally, dragons started relatively small in size (Glaurung, the first dragon, had a head not much longer than a person) then increased in size for a while. Though this peaked with Ancalagon, the "great" dragons stayed pretty damn huge. The death of Smaug literally marked the death of the last Great Dragons. The reason no other dragons went to fight for Erebor's gold was because they knew Smaug had his eyes on it. They weren't gonna mess with that.

      Not to mention Tolkien has a habit of having smaller creatures destroy large areas. The Balrog that Gandalf fights is said to destroy the side of a mountain when he falls, yet is described as essentially the size of a man. He does this a lot with dragons too, describing them as almost having death throes. Smaug completely destroys Laketown in his death, and Glaurung's death throes could be seen and heard for miles. Very easy to see Ancalagon's death as not being analogous to his size.

      @@aurelian2668 uhm, no, it would not rely solely on altitude necessarily. The dragon could have fallen to the bottom of the mountains writhing like Glaurung and wiped them out from their base. However, we are told this is an aerial battle so I like to imagine they are up pretty high. Even if the dragon fell from a height similar to the peaks of thangorodrim, that is still incredibly high and hitting the mountains at the right trajectory with the dead magical body of a dragon as it flails about could take them down. I mean, probably still makes more sense to imagine Ancalagon with leveling a region in his death throes than to picture a dragon bigger than a mountain range.

    It also seems pretty evident that Ancalagon would have been quite a lot tougher than Smaug being bred and trained as a war dragon as it were, and certainly would have given Smaug a run for the money if it didn't turn tail and run on sight.
