I somehow believe that if Ancalagon wins this, Christopher Tolkien will suddenly find a page of notes detailing how he was the biggest baddest dragon ever, and how he drove back the forces of the Valar but was somehow slain by a lucky cheap-shot from Earendil.

It's worth a shot, right?

++Ancalagon

I don't actually like either of them very much. I know too little of Ancalagon to like or dislike him and Carcharoth is kind of cool but he also always kind of annoyed me because he struck me as a rather stupid animal.

Ancalagan and Carcharoth meet in the first round? Inconceivable! I call the seeding system into question!

This is a tough one indeed. Both dragons and werewolves are pretty darn cool, and Ancalagon and Carcharoth represent the top notch of each species. I think I'll go with

++Carcharoth.

He at least has some character.

Nope, for me it doesn't. I don't like dragons in general.

Don't complain - skippy was much more evil.

I never really liked Carcharoth (and the first time I read his name I was reminded of a Great White Shark, which I think is overrated too).

++Ancalagon

Oh, this is soo wrong!

But anyway, let's gather under the banner of Ancalagon the Black! Everyone! It's the last stand!

++ Ancalagon

Werewolf is a game, dragons are for real!

As it surprisingly looks like the voting round is not over, then let me specify my call why you all should vote for Ancalagon by just rephrasing my earlier one.

Werefolves are game, humans (and elves, and...) are game to the dragons...

Hee , Hee! Actually, pretty much deliberate. I tend to
not like seedings like in the NCAA's basketball tournament,
where you get too many mismatches early. Besides, this
way Golfimbul or Bill Ferny get to advance.

Well, looking ahead I have to go now to check out
101 Things to do with Dead Cats.

Oh wait! What if the cats win!

So far
Carcharoth 7
Ancalagon 5
