Ellie?!
 You don't have read The Hobbit? Smaug is of course not cooler than Glaurung. That would been like saying that young whippersnapper Gwaihir is cooler than myself

 Well... I read it. Sort of. In spurts and horribly out of order. I didn't like it very much. I read the first 50+ pages and then quit. And then realised I had to keep going, and just started reading it randomly. I've pretty much read all of it... but I read LotR first, and IMO, the Hobbit simply can't compare. I think I know all of it, just not details such as Thranduil was blonde and Smaug red. Go figure. Didn't I mention that I hate Hobbits?  And I don't particularly like Dwarves either...

Yeah, I am ok. in a way... But.. No, I have to go for some shock treatment..
I mean, The Hobbit is really a lovely book. You have at least enough self respect to read it, partly at least...

I don't like the Hobbit.
I shall scream it to the world! I hate Hobbits! I don't like Dwarves! I am simply one of the oddest Tolkien fans you'll find! Especially since I can say that in Quenya: Nevenye Periandi. Umin melë Naucor! hm... I think that's right... No Hobbits in the Silm. Anyone still wonder why it's my favourite? No Hobbits and tons and tons of Elves.But yes, Pytt. I had to read it in order to understand what was happening. After reading LotR and the Silm though... It simply wasn't... heroic enough, I suppose... I did enjoy looking for links to the First Age though. [edited] Quote:

Tolkien himself drew this picture of Smaug.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...kien_smaug.jpg EDIT: For some reason [img] tags don't work. You can still click the link though. From: http://www.tolkien.co.uk/frame.asp. Curse you frames! Are Glaurung, Smaug, and Ancalagon thr Black the only dragons ever mentioned? I'll take any source - HoME, LotR, the Sil, etc.

Scatha the Worm was mentioned in the LotR Appendices.

Well. I suppose it makes sense. I can't think of anything else it could be... I mean, honestly...
Fear me! I am Scatha the Earthworm!

And he said that the Rohirrim bought treasures from his hoard and I doubt earthworms have hoards of treasure.
