Like Azog, Scatha has a cool name and is interesting to know about compared to how little is written of him. However, when you get to some of the hard core evil characters it is only right that they step aside.

If you consider Carcharoth particularly special...

Besides, who was the one to vote Azog instead of Grishnákh, who was certainly as great baddie as Carcharoth (even far better from my personal point of view, but even when being as minimalistic as possible, you have to agree that he reaches Carcharoth's qualities, if nothing else).

Next: Smaug vs. Sauron

Shoot, this is going to be hard! I like Smaug a bunch for his talk with Bilbo and for the wonderful adventure that he starts with Thorin. However, just looking at the name Sauron reminds me of how absolutely evil he was, you don't have to even try to think of anything for him. I'll have to think harder on this.

Tuor in Gondolin · 02-26-2009, 06:13 PM

Btw, should Smaug prevail in this round
it should be noted that Carcharoth has
already dispatched two dragons, although if
it's Sauron then you have two of
Morgoth's favs one-on-one.

I've always liked Smaug. He was very witty, and I love the acerbic repartee between Bilbo and the rhetorical reptile. Sauron...he's not so witty. Imagine Darth Vader trying to tell a joke.

Indeed. I have to go for Smaug here. He is very clever and interesting, and he is a Dragon. And a winged one, at that. And I can bet he's going to beat Carcey with no effort.
