The Dragons of Middle-earth [COMPILATION]

[@NerdoftheRings]

I hope you all enjoy this video, but today, I also want to call attention to a great loss for the Tolkien fandom. Artist Greg Hildebrandt passed away this week at 85. His work is simply iconic - from the Tolkien calendars to the original poster for Star Wars. We are so blessed as a fandom to have had his immense talent bring life to this world we love. I'll be praying for his wife Jean and their family during this difficult time. Should you wish, here is the link to Greg's store where you can purchase prints and books of his artwork and help support his family: www.spiderwebart.com/default.asp

[@alwaysthinkin]

*Fun fact:* Speaking of dragons, In the "Shadow of War" game, you can find a very old orc captain who ages ago served Morgoth as his sniper. He mentions that the dragons of the Third Age are pretty lame and weak compared to the monstruos ones he saw when he was born during Morgoth's reign

[@MurkyTheSquid]

dude yes! i remember finding him and eventually recruiting him to my side simply because i loved that little nod to the deep lore so much

[@Destroyer94100]

Shadow of War isn’t canon to the story but good point. Dragons were definitely mightier during the war of wrath.

[@Highlander_Wolfman]

In the game, you can find a Drake (lesser dragon) scale and Celebrimbor does say that it was easy to identify as a drake as they are much more dingy than actual dragons.

[@myriadmediamusings]

With how much he contributed to his great battlefield victories and his role in the story of Turin, I feel that it is Glaurung, not Sauron, who was Morgoth's greatest servant. FA Sauron may have seemed more versatile, but the only tale we have of him during that time was of getting the snot kicked out of him by a mythical doggo.

Per the Valaquenta: "In the beginning he was of the Maiar of Aulë, and he remained mighty in the lore of that people. In all the deeds of Melkor the Morgoth upon Arda, in his vast works and in the deceits of his cunning, Sauron had a part, and was only less evil than his master in that for long he served another and not himself. But in after years he rose like a shadow of Morgoth and a ghost of his malice, and walked behind him on the same ruinous path down into the Void." We aren't told many of the details of what Sauron did but it is clear that he served Morgoth well for a long time, even if it was seldom out on the battlefield.

They’re my favorite magical creatures, not just because of their lore but also because I just really like giant reptiles that, more often than not, breathe fire, lol. There’s so much depth to explore with these fascinating "creatures," and I also love *The Lord of the Rings*. I was thrilled to see a video diving into these mystical beings of Middle-earth.

The Dragons of GRRM are like nukes. Tolkein's dragons are overgrown children of the serpent from the garden of Eden. They lie, and their lies curse you. They emanate the malice of their creator.

[@rabidfirefox8914]

FromSoft's dragons (Elden Eing, Dark Souls, etc) are discussions about the fultility of chasing immortality, especially through force. for example, when eating Dragon Hearts in Elden Ring, the player gain dragon eyes and according to lore will eventually become a wyrms fated to drag their belly through the dirt during their long life. Human trying to gain immortally often become half dragon hybrids which usually look painful or awkward (except best girl Half-Breed Priscilla who deserves only the best in the world) I love that while all these fanatsy stories all involve dragons, fire and cool battles, they each use dragons to represent such different themes. Seath from Dark Souls acts differents than Smaug from the hobbit who also acts differently than Drogon from ASOIAF. I love this type of variety.

[@chadwickjdillon]

So, if Morgoth cannot "make" new life/creations, he can only corrupt things and imbue them with his power... what did the dragons start as? What have I always missed about this? and if Morgoth did make the dragons as full constructs... does that suggest that Sauron is actually INCREDIBLY strong if his power alone is more than a match for literally any dragon that did exist? but postulates that Morgoth Could have made a dragon that Could have overpowered the ring and destroyed it? Like... if Morgoth brewed his dagons stronger, they could have been more potent expressions of his power?

[@MarvinT0606]

You have to remember that Sauron was once a Maiar under Aüle the Smith. His powers of sub-creation were almost peerless among the Maiar. Also the Ring being able to bind and preserve the power of the Three Elven Rings means it was made not with any special metal but was imbued with the immense power binding it to the fabric of creation itself, as if the Ring was the concentration of all of Sauron's malice and will to dominate and he pressed these qualities into a small but nearly indestructible conduit. The problem however is because the Ring was forged from a physical thing it can be undone in the physical realm but only under the same circumstances as it was created.

[@MarvinT0606]

It is no mere coincidence or fancy that Sauron chose to forge the Rings of Power in Mount Doom-- an active volcano whose roots go all the way down to the foundations of the world.

I’ve always been curious of the origins of dragons. It is said that Melkor is not wholly capable of creating something new but only corrupt things created by others. Orcs are corrupted elves, trolls are corrupted ents, even balrogs are corrupted Maia. But what were the dragons? I don’t know if that has ever been answered.

[@moalzaben5554]

I believe there are other dragons out there even into the 4th age, some of them are probably living in the withered heath or the northern waste, so Smaug was probably not the last dragon in existence, I still wonder why Sauron never bothered sending his Nazgul and other servants to the withered to search for dragons to recruit since he did have plans to recruit Smaug for the war of the ring.

"Gondorian folktales abound with drakes, lesser versions of the great dragons who supposedly slumber under the earth. Yet here in Mordor, I've seen them with my own eyes (though from a safe distance) and they are nothing like the storybooks say. They are lethal hunters of the air, rapacious and cruel, apt to torment their prey before eating it. This scale, taken from a drake carcass we found in a graug cave, gives some sense of their size, and how strong they must be to carry such weight aloft." *Idril of Gondor*

[@TarMody]

08:40 The connection between dragons and Morgoth is like the connection between the One Ring and Sauron. The essence of the matter is this: all sub-creations brought forth through spiritual incarnation are intertwined with each other because the soul cannot be divided. This is why the dragons' wills are coordinated with Morgoth's. This is where the dragons' free will comes from.

[@MarvinT0606]

I have to disagree. Morgoth's relationship with his creatures is very different from Sauron and the Ring. Yes it is true that souls cannot be divided and souls cannot be created nor imbued _unless_ with the express permission of Iluvatar as in the case of the Dwarves. HOWEVER, Morgoth's real power is distortion: he bends and breaks creatures to his will and all of his servants were once very different creatures. The Balrogs were once Maiar, Orcs were once Men or Elves. Given how dragons multiply and live as sentient creatures, it is very possible that they were once a different race of creatures that Morgoth bent and broke to his will and poured so much of his power that they ended up being his most powerful non-Maiar servants. My theory is there was an entire ecosystem of living creatures during the earleist ages of Middle-Earth that Morgoth subdued and corrupted to create his most iconic servants.
