Sauron was without a doubt much stronger than the dragons. i don't believe smaug was the last of the dragons, just really close. i beilieve there were some dragons living up North in the desolation. i can't remember where i heard that, but in makes sense to me since [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] for the Dragons who escaped in the War of Wrath to have stayed up North where there master was. Remember the Balrogs in the First Age when they totted Melkor to Valinor? the Balrogs stayed in Utumno, or in neighboring regions, waiting for their Master's return. why couldn't ther Dragons do the same.

BTW, was there any clear count how many Dragons escaped the Great Battle?
