who hates dragons

[Kili Goldmoth]

If you hate dragons send a note to this Thread:) :)

[Blackheart]

But they are so tasty....

Lightly grilled dragons on a kaiser roll are just the thing for a light lunch.

Oh, You must be forgetting to remove the toenails and scales. Those are only for those who like extra crunchy...















Oh... And shoulder dragons must die. Especially those that poop on my new cloak...

just wondering...why do you hate them??

[durin's bane]

Yeah, why do you hate them?
I like dragons in general. But there's some I don't like. I hate Smaug...but it's that kind of hate you have when you like a villain. I like Smaug so much that I hate him...it's sort of complicated. I don't know if that really counts as "hating", though.

[Kili Goldmoth]

I don't hate them i was just thinking if you hate them:mad: :mad:

[Lalaith]

I have never met one, so I can't really judge, but that what I heard of them I don't like.

[Kili Goldmoth]

I am sorry that I got mad. Can you forgive me:)

[gimli7410]

anytime:D

[LutraMage]

I love dragons - I just think they've been given a bad press!:p What they need is a better publicity agent!;)

[Kili Goldmoth]

You are right

[Kili Goldmoth]

Do you like smaug

[elixir]

Oh, I like Smaug and all the other dragons too despite the fact that they were evil (Tolkien ones).

In my mind dragons are noble creatures and they are beautiful too :D :D :D

[Kili Goldmoth]

you are so right

[legolialis]

dragons are kinda cool
I mean they are almost indestructable enless hit in the under belly so I mean I don't hate them, but if i came across one and it tried to eat me than we'll talk

[Anadriewen]

Sorry to disapoint you but i don't think that will be happeing in the near future, legoliasis.:D

[Turgon_Turambar]

Dragons are cool especially Ancalagon the Black he was awesome. But is it possible for a dragon to be good ( in Tolkien's world)????

[Blackheart]

Dragons were bred by Morgoth. (probably with Sauron supervising, he seems to be the "guy that gets things done around here") Much like the orcs, and trolls.

While possible, it would be highly highly highly unlikely.

I think I did read one peri-the-winkle poem about a troll that liked to bake (By JRRT), as far as I'm aware that is the only reference to a "good" Troll, and nothing about a good dragon or orc.

And that poem is probably apocryphal regarding middle earth.

[Thorin II]

Were there any dragons left by the War of the Ring? I don't remember them being mentioned; if they were around, I would've expected them to be heavily involved. I know they served Morgoth instead of Sauron, but I would still think Sauron could've recruited them for his war.

[Lord Boromir]

Dragons are the best!

[Arag0rn]

I've never met a dragon, but seeing as their mythical creatures with huge wings and powerfull claws and inpenetrable scales, i think there cool:D

[Lord Boromir]

yeah, me too. I don't hate them, even if they're evil...

[Turgon_Turambar]

I read somewere that Dragons were once good but were corrupted into Morgoths service like the Balrog maiars and Sauron. It said that maybe Dragons were Maiar aswell but i dont think so.

[Lalaith_Elf]

I love dragons. They're such beautiful and graceful creatures.

Plus they come in handy when you wish to BBQ that certain annoying enemy that has just gone too far:D

[Tuor of Gondolin]

Two items on dragons, a poem by C. S. Lewis and a related comment by JRRT.

alliterative poem by CSL, (Rehabilitations, p. 122),
"We were talking of dragons, | Tolkien and I
In a Berkshire bar. | The big workman
Who had sat silent | and sucked his pipe
All the evening, | from his empty mug
with gleaming eye | glanced towards us;
'I seen 'em myself', | he said fiercely."

In The Letters Of J.R.R. Tolkien, #300:
"The lines which Jack gives as examples are not unfortunately entirely accurate examples of Old English metrical devices. The occasion is entirely fictitious. I have never seen a dragon, nor ever seen a man who said that he has. I don't wish to see either. A remote source of Jack's lines may be this: I remember Jack telling me a story of Brightman, the distinguished ecclesiastical scholar, who used to sit quietly in Common Room saying nothing except on rare occasions. Jack said that there was a discussion of dragons one night and at the end Brightman's voice was heard to say, 'I have seen a dragon.' Silence. 'Where was that?' he was asked. 'On the Mount of Olives,' he said. He relapsed into silence and never before his death explained what he meant."

Liking dragons or not seems to depend on your perspective. I actually liked Smaug alot, after all he was a good villian. Of course I also take my overall dragon opinions from other sources too. Such as Dragonlance where not all dragons were the same, or the Dragonriders of Pern which gave yet another perspective.
