Thank you all so much for the support, it means a lot! It is very interesting to hear your thoughts about Dragons versus Balrogs! It certainly depends on which Dragon fights which Balrog, and indeed, Balrogs are Maiar while Dragons might not be. Although Dragons can cause the mass destruction that Balrogs cannot. I can definitely see how either could win, but I still hold that a Dragon would probably win most of the time, since they can cause so much more damage than a Balrog. But, all it would take is for the Balrog to piece the Dragon in the belly with its sword to win, so who knows haha

I just can't get over how small Smaug is compared to Ancalagon. I mean I know Ancalagon was ridiculously big but still.

The Dragons of Middle-Earth are such a fascinating and mysterious topic, I'm glad to see that you're doing it justice.

Ancalagon: I would say hi, but I’m dead

That White Tree of Gondor is so cool I saw someone with that shirt actually which I never see anyone wearing anything related to Lord of the Rings these days. That was so awesome.

Balrogs are Maiar; they are more powerful than Dragons. Being spirits of shadow and flame, I don't believe that dragon fire can harm them. Tolkien seems to bear this out, as Balrogs drove dragons forward with their whips in the First Age during the sack of Gondolin.

You never fail to send me to bed on Sunday night in joy with these.

The fact that we have fan art of almost every single character and event described in all of the LOTR canon is just amazing. It shows how incredible this community is and just how great Tolkien was at painting a vivid picture with words.

Ancalagon the Black. The end.

Was just driving home from work and saw a cloud in the sky and wondered if Ancalagon would dwarf it and here I am watching MotW's Dragon's video. EPIC

@kento2851 5 лет назад

Dragons in Tolkien's Legendarium are probably the most badass dragons in any literature (to me at least)

@KaguyasAlmightyPower 4 года назад

It’s said that Smaug was the last of the GREAT DRAKES which implies there are still ofc dragons perhaps even fire breathing ones

@princeblackelf4265 4 года назад

I always assumed that Melkor created Dragons from serpents/snakes/ lizards, rather than being sourced from corrupted maiar spirits

Found this channel recently. Really enjoying it, keep it up!! One thing that I find strange is how Morgoth made Glaurung but that it is mentioned that Morgoth can’t create but only mock. Which sort of points towards some dragon-like creature made by Iluvatar
