Re: Re specially devised dragons again.

From Q30:<blockquote>Quote:<hr> ... dragons of many and dire shapes were new devised for the taking of the city.<hr></blockquote>This is the last account that even comes close to being more than chronological notations. So I can't see dropping the word &quot;devised&quot; without reason.

My guess would not be that they were ignored by Morgoth, but that they were destroyed in the War of Wrath, along with almost all the Balrogs (perhaps all but one) and all the winged dragons except for two.
