Dragon (Tolkien)

Dragons is a fictional sapient species seen in J.R.R. Tolkien's Works.

Description
Dragons' exact origins are mysterious, though they were created by Morgoth in some sense as servants for him. After his defeat, they spread out over Middle-Earth, adopting a lonely lifestyle. Many dragons, such as Smaug the Golden, eventually went into hibernation in their caves. Dragons were extremely intelligent and greedy.
