There is a lot of debate over how big Smaug is but we can basically scale his body based on the size of his teeth. If his teeth were 18inches (45cm) long the size of a small sword then his body would be about 150ft long or 47m. This is based on the study of dinosaur teeth which by comparison are only 3 to 4 inches long.

Glaurung was huge but it was his intelligence that made him far worse then the other dragons. He put a spell on Turin & his Sister so they would not know each other as siblings. When the two met they fell in love. Turin was able to kill Glaurung but even as he died he still won as his spell was undone and the two memories returned. They both died by their own hand , one by shame and the other by grief. Glaurung had many victories over the elves and humans during its life. I doubt any other dragon did as much damage to a culture as Glaurung. Only Smaug most likely came close with its victory at taking the lonely mountain as its lair .

Though this peaked with Ancalagon, the "great" dragons stayed pretty damn huge. The death of Smaug literally marked the death of the last Great Dragons.

Not to mention Tolkien has a habit of having smaller creatures destroy large areas. The Balrog that Gandalf fights is said to destroy the side of a mountain when he falls, yet is described as essentially the size of a man. He does this a lot with dragons too, describing them as almost having death throes. Smaug completely destroys Laketown in his death, and Glaurung's death throes could be seen and heard for miles. Very easy to see Ancalagon's death as not being analogous to his size.

Even if the dragon fell from a height similar to the peaks of thangorodrim, that is still incredibly high and hitting the mountains at the right trajectory with the dead magical body of a dragon as it flails about could take them down. I mean, probably still makes more sense to imagine Ancalagon with leveling a region in his death throes than to picture a dragon bigger than a mountain range.

The Tom Bombadil dragon almost sounds like a distorted or less accurate retelling of Smaug's story. Could be referring to the same dragon?
@amyb.63682 жыл бұрын
The Hobbit and Tom Bombadil both grew out of stories Tolkien would make up and tell his kids. I think it's possible it was actually the same story, but he split them apart in his published books for reasons.

Tolkien really made no clear telling to the size of Ancalagon that I know of.... in fact the only reference I could find was a comment by Gandalf that it had the hottest fire, "not even Ancalagon the Black" could melt the One Ring by consuming it. It also seems pretty evident that Ancalagon would have been quite a lot tougher than Smaug being bred and trained as a war dragon as it were, and certainly would have given Smaug a run for the money if it didn't turn tail and run on sight. Even if it wasn't mountain sized by comparison. I wrote a schpiel about this a few years ago and made my arguments lol quora What-is-the-size-difference-between-Ancalagon-the-Black-and-Smaug

@Fantallana3 жыл бұрын
Why do so many people still believe that fan-made chart, I wonder? Doesn't seem backed up by what Tolkien wrote, especially not the "Smaug is small" thing. Tolkien specified Smaug was "the greatest fire drake of the third age." He wasn't as big as Ancalagon, but neither was any other dragon. Generally, dragons started relatively small in size (Glaurung, the first dragon, had a head not much longer than a person) then increased in size for a while. Though this peaked with Ancalagon, the "great" dragons stayed pretty damn huge. The death of Smaug literally marked the death of the last Great Dragons. The reason no other dragons went to fight for Erebor's gold was because they knew Smaug had his eyes on it. They weren't gonna mess with that.

Often wish Tolkien had put a bit more in about the War of Wrath. Supposedly the most epic showdown in the whole of Tolkien legendarium. The final battle between the greatest host ever assembled by the Valar and Morgoth's hoards of orcs, balrogs and dragons. And yet was awarded half a chapter in the Silmarillion with little to no detail on how it was even won.
@ElixirOfEuphoria2 жыл бұрын
Usually better to leave stuff like that as elements of grand myth and legend, takes away from a lot of the events themselves and the history that follows them. If events like that are explained in too much detail, the mythic nature of them starts to erode.

The next two would be basically space stations the size of the moon! There's a lot of big Monsters in Yu-Gi-Oh!, you may have guessed!
