Summary
- Smaug, despite his size, was not the largest dragon in Middle-earth, as Ancalagon the Black takes that title by a landslide.
- Morgoth, the Dark Lord, created a series of vile creatures, including dragons, during the First Age of Middle-earth.
- Ancalagon the Black, the largest dragon, could block out the sky and was large enough to destroy mountains, making Smaug appear small in comparison.
