Talking about dragon-personalities, how could you have played an ancient game where you voted Glaurung out! Glaurung would have wiped these two out with just it's tail.

All in all he is unlike any dragon I have ever known and much more interesting than anyone left...*lousy Hama evicters* |
'kay then.

The merit of which is...? How being a fool makes you worthy of recognition? Do what you're good at, I say. Be what you are.

That's a subjective emotion, not an argument to be shared with others. And with the same logic, would you be supporting a Sauron who would have "felt different than the other servants of Morgoth" who would have spread beads and flowers around him?

Nice little fairy-dragon, now aren't we? So cute indeed? What's the point of a consiliatory dragon? Being nice enough to serve the morning TV-cartoons that are there only for the adds? And living in the end? What measure of character is that? The dead (or irretrievably gone) will bring forwards our emotions, not the ordinary "survivors" of the everyday... This is all stars!

Or having not character enough it had to yield to some petty farmer? One dragon we have here! A disgrace to it's kin!

You're serious?
How come people are not taken by stories of you and me living our daily conciliatory lives? Because
we're not interesting!
Chrysophylax is as interesting as the Teletubbies!
Don't count me in here though. I agree with you in this. Hama had more emotional believability and stamina than a thousand Chrysophylaxes...
