Description

Then Smaug really did laugh - a devastating sound which shook Bilbo to the floor, while far up in the tunnel the dwarves huddled together and imagined that the hobbit had come to a sudden and a nasty end.

"Revenge!" he snorted, and the light of his eyes lit the hall from floor to ceiling like scarlet lightning. "Revenge! The King under the Mountain is dead and where are his kin that dare seek revenge? Girion Lord of Dale is dead, and I have eaten his people like a wolf among sheep, and where are his sons' sons that dare approach me? I kill where I wish and none dare resist. I laid low the warriors of old and their like is not in the world today. Then I was but young and tender. Now I am old and strong, strong, strong, Thief in the Shadows!" he gloated. "My armor is like tenfold shields, my teeth are swords, my claws spears, the shock of my tail a thunderbolt, my wings a hurricane, and my breath death!"
...

- J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit.


Smaug the Golden, also called Smaug the Magnificent, was one of the last great Fire-drakes of Middle-earth and by far the most powerful dragon in the latter part of the Third Age. He was best known by laying waste the town of Dale and capturing the dwarwen kingdom of Lonely Mountain (Erebor) with all of its treasures.

This is my vision of him.
