Tolkien's best Dragon - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Well, my favorites are Glaurung and Chrysophylax.

Glaurung is just so chillingly evil. He caused so much destruction and so much despair. He really did his job as a dragon. And I think it's fascinating how he winds himself through the Narn i Hin Hurin.

Chrysophylax is funny. He could be considered as bad (he's a dragon; Tolkien dragons are bad), but he's a very interesting character.

I love dragons, so I like the others too, but these two definately hold precendence in my mind.
