Well, I'm back, finally. And now back to business.

I think the dragons may have bred(with what I don't know), because Smaug did say that he was once young, and that was already more than 60 centuries after Angband's fall.

Now that I think of it, it would be hard to search and destroy all the crawling dragons. After all, Morgoth built an extensive tunnel system, which enabled a Balrog to escape to Moria. So the drakes must have used the tunnels to escape everywhere, thus accounting for the other dragons.

Maybe the two who survived were winged dragons, because a crawling dragon(however powerful) could not fight back or escape against the hosts of Valinor.

So, what do you think?
