I too found Beorn an interesting and imaginative character who I just plain enjoyed reading about but I have to admit to having a soft spot (no pun intended) for Smaug. I love the dramatic attack on Lake Town which I know is more to do with beautiful descriptive writing than characterisation of a dragon but it has stayed with me for years as a particular scene in the book. To be honest I love how each character has been created and picking a favourite is tricky but those are ones that stand out as well as the obvious protagonist, Bilbo.
