This is not quite an easy question for me. I do not like these two in particularly that much, neither of them, to be sure rightaway. Though, after some thinking: Thorin has lots of positive (and negative, but interesting) character traits, while Glaurung has of course nice persuading personality and everything... but well, let's face it: he is a worm. He is not a dragon. I would have voted Smaug immediately. I would have voted Glaurung too, I think, had he had wings. But he is a worm! Come on, people. Crawling on the ground? How inappropriate for the Father of Dragons! Such a disgrace! A big, fat dust-eating worm? Down with him!
