I didn't understand a word Wayfarer said, so I'll answer though I suspect he did. There was but one part of Smaug's flesh that was unprotected. The rest was covered in jewells and scales, etc. Think of it like the Death Star in Star Wars, one weak spot could be its Achilles Heel. As for Smaug's color, I believe he was golden, but the fire from him probably caused it to shine red at times.

Smaug was a 'red-gold dragon'.
_____
Wayfarer was speaking l33t, the Black Speech of the gaming world. Here's what I think is what he said in the Common Tongue:
You are so right dude!
Black arrows suck! Dragons rock! I am uber 133t! I will pk [player-kill, the act of killing another person's player character in an online game] you, because you are gay!
Wayfarer was actually making fun of The_Real_Legolas, I believe he was inferring the good poster to be akin to the 'mindless PKers' of online gaming. Er, ... shame on you Shannon, shame on you, we don't support that sort of thing. ... Quick Legolas, I'll hold him while you lay the muffins down! *advances towards Wayfarer menacingly*

:D
I believe smaug was reddish-gold all about, with a crust of trinkets protecting his soft underbelly. At least that's what he looks like on the dust-jacket of my copy of The Hobbit.
In any case... smaug was slain by a combination of chance, pride, and cunning. If Bilbo hadn't been along, or if he hadn't seen the patch, or if smaugh had went back to sleep after smashing the mountainside, or if the thrush hadn't been sent to Bard, or if bard hadn't been an archer, or if he hadn't had the black arrow...
Smaug wouldn't have been slain. In fact, the combination of factors that led to his death are a prelude to the very similar factors that led to to downfall of Sauron.

Of course... I am sympathetic, considering I've lost no less than five dragon characters to even more inane circumstances. ;)

Smaug was a sloppy dragon, much too self-assured. He had it coming! :D
"My armour 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!" "I have always understood," said Bilbo in a frightened squeak, "that dragons were softer underneath, especially in the region of the--er--chest; but doubtless one so fortified has thought of that." The dragon
stopped short in his boasting. "Your information is antiquated," he snapped. "I am armoured above and below with iron scales and hard gems. No blade can pierce me." "I might have guessed it," said Bilbo. "Truly there can; nowhere be found the equal of Lord Smaug the Impenetrable. What magnificence to possess a
waistcoat of fine diamonds!" "Yes, it is rare and wonderful, indeed," said Smaug absurdly pleased. He did not know that the hobbit had already caught a glimpse of his peculiar under-covering on his previous visit, and was itching for a closer view for reasons of his own. The dragon rolled over. "Look!" he said.
"What do you say to that?" "Dazzlingly marvellous! Perfect! Flawless! Staggering!" exclaimed Bilbo aloud, but what he thought inside was: "Old fool! Why there is a large patch in the hollow of his left breast as bare as a snail out of its shell!"

Lived by the Lake
And froliced in his darksome cave
Like a mallard drake!

Little Bilbo Baggins
Crept into Smaug's cave,
Wearing Sauron's One Ring;
Which made him very brave,
Oh...

Smaug, the giant lizard
Was not a dinosaur!
And Bilbo stole his golden cup
Despite his fiercest roar . . .

He brought it back to Thorin
Then, later, all alone
He snuck back up the passageway,
And swiped the Arkenstone,
Oh--
Smaug, the magic dragon
Lived by the Lake
And froliced in his darksome cave
Like a mallard drake!

LOL, nice avatar, ragamuffin!
Smaug, the magic dragon
Blew his dragon fuse
He flew out of that darksome cave
A menace on the loose!
Smaug, the fiery worm
Burned the secret door
He chased the dwarves inside the cave
Where they huddled on the floor!
Oh --
Smaug, the magic dragon
Lived by the Lake
And froliced in his darksome cave
Like a mallard drake!
Tolkien's probably rolling over in his grave . . . :D

Smaug the magic dragon
He smashed the mountain down
Then flying off to ease his wrath
He started on lake Town
But Thorin and the Dwa-arves
And Bilbo Baggins too
They were not killed or buried deep,
That, of course, you kne-ew!
Smaug the magic dragon,
lived by the lake
and frolicked in his darksome cave

Smaug the Golden
Once cunning and sly
Pissed off the Dale folk
And was doomed to die.
Curled up in his cave
He grew greedy and vain
'Till Bard's black arrow
Split his heart in twain.
He was so beautiful
And so very cool
I wish he could live
Instead of rot in the pool.
But despite his beauty
He really was very mean
And we're all better off
Now his end we have seen.
Still I must sigh
And wish just this once
He'd been a little more careful
The dragon-headed dunce!

I like the one ya'all did to the tune of puff better, but what can I say? It was late, I'd been on the computer all day long, and at that point any kind of silliness is bound to pop out of my head. Thanks for being kind about my drivel. I did like the rot in the pool bit, i tell ya, it was absolutely hysterical to me at 3 in the morning:p , it makes Smaug sound a bit like an aging rock star.
But I gots to say, my fav line of puff parody is Frodofriend's "blew his dragon fuse" !:D

The poem is rather good. I like the song better. It is hard to compete with anything to the tune of puff the magic dragon.

Smaug . . . what an unlikely inspiration for song and poetry. :)
Smaug the giant wyrm
Made little Bilbo squirm
Despite fear he'd be
A shish-kabob wee
Bravely the Hobbit stood firm!

Do you think Smaug (sounds like smug) really believed Bilbo about his Achilles heel, er, missing scale? Tolkien's characters that were proud and full of themselves usually met a bad end.
FrodoFriend
02-23-2002, 12:20 AM
Yeah, pride and possessiveness (of which Smaug had plenty) seem to be Tolkien's main beefs (or is it "beeves"?).
And Real_Legolas, all the thread title says is "Smaug???". And we are certainly talking about Smaug. What's wrong with answering questions in song form?
Smaug, the magic dragon
Sported a soft spot
On his shiny belly
And that's where he got shot!

splashed in the lake
punctured by an arrow,

Smaug the deaded dragon
went down to join the fish
and some lake men chefs then stewed him up
and served him on a dish...
