What a riot. Glad I asked this one. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Thanks, Keeper of Dol Guldur, for adding Scatha to the list. I'd forgotten about him.

By "best" I meant whatever number of traits you think makes the best dragon.

Chrysophylax gets my vote. Gorin Icearms' quote summarizes why. And if you don't know Chrysophylax, read Farmer Giles of Ham. It's the laugh-riotest thing. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

So far the tally is:
Smaug: 3 1/2 votes
Glaurung: 3 votes
Chrysophylax: 2 1/2 votes
Scatha: 1 vote
Anacalagon: 1 vote

Anti-votes: 1 against Scatha. Did I miss any?
