The Quenta Silmarillion included in The Lost Road says that after Ancalagon was defeated, all dragons perished save 2 that fled east.
Are these Smaug and Scatha?
If not...then who?
Tolkien was very aware that Beowulf’s dragon wasn’t just a monster but a moral climax. In his 1936 lecture Beowulf: The Monsters and the Critics, he described the poem’s structure as “balanced and significant” precisely because the dragon isn’t just a beast to slay—it’s the final test of courage...

So, I'm currently in the process of creating a Middle earth Dungeons and Dragons campaign;
It's going to take place in the second age, and i was wondering if you lovely lot have any advice possibly.
If we do not include Sauron, the most powerful servants of Morgoth were these dragons and balrogs. Do you think that the 3 most powerful dragons, Ancalagon, Glaurung and Smaug, are more powerful or are the 3 most powerful balrogs, Gothmog Lungorthin and Durin's Bane, more powerful? Because of...
I just think it is kinda silly how so many people have this huge problem with Orcs as an all evil group when we got Troll, Stone Giants, Dragons, Ungoliant Spawns and the list goes on.
Now yes if somebody were to ask me what the most vile type of creature in middle-earth is it would be the...
Hello friends, I have a burning question that I can’t quite give myself a satisfying answer too and I’m hoping some of you Tolkien enthusiasts will answer for me. Could Smaug or perhaps a dragon like him/more powerful have successfully attacked and or taken Khazad-dum/Moria like Smaug took...

In the above article, it is explained that there are still dragons during the War of the Ring. But how true is this? there was only 1 balrog in the war of the ring. high elves were in...
Dragons are included in the battles in the north in bfme 2, so is this canon? What book or source does it say that dragons were involved in the wars in the north?

In this regard, only 6 people including me said that dragons are stronger. According to about 18 people, balrogs are stronger. The length of the balrogs is between 3 and 4 meters. However, the glaurung, the father of dragons, was...
Since my main language is not English, I cannot perceive some articles like you. What exactly does it say in this article? Did ecthelion slay a drake during the gondolin's fall? I found this article on a wiki. And I wanted to ask you.
"Ecthelion, a standout amongst the most gifted warriors in...
Glaurung is the father of all dragon, he overthrough Narthongrond and Belgost. Ancalagon destroyed the peaks of Angband upon his fall to death after being cast down by Thorondor and Earendil. Who would win if these two goliath monsters of old went at it who would come out victorious...
Under the inscription of the balrog in this book, it is written that the most powerful creatures that Melkor has created are dragons.

I couldn't find a clear explanation about where fellbeasts came from on the internet. Where do you think these animals come from? from birds or cold dragons?
I'm just curious about your opinions. As you all know, the most powerful servants of Melkor are the balrogs and dragons. But apart from these two beings, evil beings of the 3rd age such as uruk-hai, olog-hai, mumakil, fellbeast, nazgul, are from the first age orcs, trolls, werewolves, and...
Yeah, far before the unnumbered tears, the Free People had already known the power of dragons during the battle of sudden flame, yet...their operational project took no account of it obviously, at least according to the Similari. Any idea?
