As far as I know, Smaug was the last great dragon. There were probably many bred by Morgoth and I doubt that they were all confined to the northwest of Middle-Earth, like Smaug and Glaurung. There was also Scatha and Ancalagon (sp?) mentioned. I suspect that there were dragons in the east too, and perhaps even in the south. Probably cold-drakes, great worms, and perhaps a couple of the winged sort.
