[Gurthang]

Alright, from what I've read, and from my own knowledge of JRRT literature, I've thought up an interesting theory. Giant creatures(whose origin is unknown) were definitely present on the earth before Morgoth arrived. Ungoliant is an example of one of these mysterious creatures. [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img] Therefore, he could have found great fire-breathing serpents in the far north(or wherever) and captured them for his own purposes. He then would have bred them in captivity to create a stronger, more useful breed.(One with wings for example) There is a record of him breeding other animals(the wolf-hound that was killed by Huan) for vile perposes. He could have quite easily done this with dragons, and since they came from nearly unreachable parts of the world, no one would have seen them until he released Glaurung in battle. I don't really see anything that wrong with this explanation, and I believe it could be true. But, it is still just a theory. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
