of dragons and wings - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

The first dragons (of whom Glaurung was the greatest and first) did not have wings, presumably because Morgoth hadn't gotten the hang of making them with wings, or something like that. However by the War of Wrath, the first winged dragons (led by Ancaglon the Black) had appeared. Although they didn't help Morgoth very much. Smaug was one of this breed but he escaped the devestation at the end of the Wor of Wrath, along with some other dragons, Balrogs and orcs.
