Was Smaug the last 🐲dragon?

[Snaga]

Was Smaug the last dragon? Gandalf says if the events in the Hobbit hadn't taken place Sauron would have used Smaug to terrible effect. So weren't there any more that Sauron could use?

Ok, so we can assume that there were more dragons after Smaug, roaming the lands of Middle-Earth, but smaug was the last "famous" dragon The last who was written about.

He certainly got ink

"... Smaug the Golden, greatest of the dragons of his day ..." Appendix A RotK ~ reposted from earlier in this thread.

Yes you are both right.

I could be mistaken, but this is what I am able to gather from what I have read (Though I can't recall exactly where I read it).

Smaug was the last dragon of his time, but not the last dragon. I may be in correct here, but I believe in the Withered Heath, there were many dragon eggs layed of which many had yet to hatch. Perhaps Grond can help here, as I have discussed this subject with him before.

Hope this helps

Nay lesser beings... dragons have not totally disappeared from the
Withered Heath.To the which I can bear witness.And believe me,my
fire is hot enough for any who say differently.
