I feel that its sad that Tolkien had no room for good Dragons in middle earth - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I concur. Dragons were created by Melkor, and so would be inherently evil. Those dragons mentioned by Tolkien (Smaug, Glaurung, etc.) certainly prove that point. Personally, I find evil dragons just as facsinating as good dragons; evil dragons have fewer qualms about destroying villages and such, which is much more interesting than good dragons trying not to burn innocent people.
