Re: Dragons?

Ancalagon the Black slain by Earendil the Mariner
Smaug of Erebor slain by Bard, King in Dale
Scatha the Worm slain by Fram, King of the Eothed
Glaurung Father of Dragons slain by Turin Turmabar in Teiglin

More dragons appear in Tolkien's works, such as those who assailed the Dwarves of the Grey Mountains, and those who helped Acalagon in the assault upon Vingilot; but they are not named and their banes arenot mentioned.

Re: dragons

Well, there is no doubt that your answer is correct, but it is incomplete as well. I wanted to know ALL the dragons whose names are mentioned in Tolkien's works. It seems that you've forgotten that Tolkien it's not only Middle-Earth, and he also wrote some short stories where dragons also appear.

If Jes wants to pass you the turn, I'll agree, but I consider it's better to give the complete answer <img src=smile.gif ALT=":)"> .

And can I ask? I don't think anyone will be able to name the other dragons Tolkien invented; at least I can't.

Re: dragons

Crysophylax was the dragon who appeared in &quot;Farmer Giles of Ham&quot;, one of Tolkien´s short stories. It wasn't killed, but was defeated by Master Aegidius (Farmer Giles).

Re: dragons

You like dragons, don't you Gwaihir? I was going to say the Dwarves of Belegost did, but I am not sure if it was even them or the Dwarves of Nogrod that battled with Gluarung. Then I realized that was not the first time Gluarung issued from Angband. Fingon and his archers is the answer I believe you are looking for my good man.

It seems that a clue it's needed. The phrase I'm looking for it's said twice, and both times in The Return of the King.

There's more than one. One is &quot;Grond crawled on&quot;. The second is a few paragraphs later, &quot; In rode the Lord of the Nazgul...&quot; I suspect there are many more, though the two above were clearly repeated intentionally for stylistic reasons.

I was looking for this phrase: &quot;But it was no orc-chieftain or brigand that led the assault upon Gondor.&quot;, which was also clearly repeated intencionally for stylistic and enphatic reasons (it's repeated in two different chapters, the second time as the first phrase in 6th chapter).
Your proposals were correct as well, Mithadan. Ask away.

Re: dragons

This river had two tributary branches, and both (as well as the main river itself) were called equally (the difference was in adjectives). So what was the name?
