I think Sauron could have made an alliance with Smaug (or make Smaug believe this was the case but in reality using him.)

The idea of Smaug getting the Ring from Bilbo is very interesting....would a Dragon make a powerful Ringbearer? Probably yes. And imagine the damage an invisible Dragon could do!

I guess this is the case but the idea of a Dragon,Ent,Eagle,Spider or ordinary animal carrying the Ring seems a bit fantastic,but you never know. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
