Tolkien's best Dragon - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I have to go with Chrysophylax-- he has the most winning personality. Aside from being witty and clever, he's a sensible peace-loving coward-- if I actually encountered a dragon, that's exactly what I'd want in him (or her)-- so I'd survive the encounter! Furthermore, Chrysophylax ends up far more politically enlightened than the others, although this enlightenment is mainly owing to the business end of Farmer Giles' blunderbuss. He teams up with Giles, a member of the farming class, thereby enabling a populist hero to take the kingship. All those other dragons serve elitist tyrants. Only Chrysophylax is a good socialist dragon.
