If Glaurung was the father of dragons, who was the proverbial 'Tiamat'. That's a good question. Tiamat was known as a black dragon, and so was Ancalagon, but I distinctly remember Ancalagon as male. I don't know.
Where did dragons come from? Morgoth took iguanas and bats, stuck them in a box with some fallout from the radioactive silmarils, and after only ten days, he had a new playmate.
