Seiche Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Another great essay by Austin Gilkeson entitled Smaug vs. Durin’s Bane: Who Would Win in the Ultimate Dragon/Balrog Showdown? Replete with the usual geeky mastery of the lore and a fine sense of humor. "...the first dragon Glaurung...hypnotizes Túrin Turambar and his sister Nienor into committing incest and then suicide, which is a dick move even for a lizard from hell."

Argonath Diver Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 That was a pretty fun read. I feel like it'd be the Balrog, though. Gandalf had Narya boosting his Istari kung-fu grip. He coulda taken out Smaug, but he chose the thievery route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.T. Phipps Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Well, Balrogs used to be the tamers of dragons so I say Balrog. Also, Fire is Morgoth's gift and they're servants of Morgoth. Kind of deprives the dragon of its biggest advantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
