Dragons

[Gaurcrist]

I agree with Eonwe in the statement that dragons are not generally given the respect or intuition they deserve. I have read a few books, the "Inheritance" books, and they are some of the best books I have read. They include very intelligent and wise dragons, as well as other creatures and beings such as elves, dwarves, and humans. I suggest them to everyone who likes Tolkien's books, for I believe that you will enjoy them.

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

You can't really judge dragons. They're just too mysterious.
But I agree that that dragons must be intelligent because even though dragons like Smaug, Glaurung, and Chrysofalax (It's nice that I can spell) took someone who was clever or very strong with great willpower to bring them down.
Bilbo wasn't necessarily very strong or wise, but he had a great eye. He was the one who essentially brought down Samug, with a little help from a man with a bow. Turin was strong physically, but he also seemed to have this willpower that could have raised the dead. Farmer Giles on the other hand was just plain clever, that he could outsmart the dragon, so he must have been really clever.
As far as other dragons go, I wouldn't know much. Although, since there were dragon myths all over the world, dragons HAD to exist SOMETIME.
