Why didn't Sauron make use of the dragons? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Didn't I read somewhere that Morgoth had to put a bit of his power into his evil allies such as dragons, and this weakened him to the point he eventually could be overcome? I'm going out on a limb with this because I don't remember my source.

With Sauron ringless his power was already reduced. Perhaps he wanted to avoid the same mistake. (of course Gandalf helped eliminate some likely candidates! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] )
