All right, I'll try again by quoting myself.
Quote:
Do you think that Tolkien's dragons are actually different in nature than those found in received Indo-European tradition? A lot of the debate and research on this thread into his works seem to indicate this sentiment.

This makes a difference as to the nature of the spirits of Dragons: if Tolkien based his Dragons on a tradition, we may research that tradition and write about it on this thread and get it to a 3rd page! bwahahahahaha [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
But seriously, I think the tradition is worth studying in this context.
