Discussion--Dragons: Good or Evil?

Usually dragons are shown all mean and nasty and greedy. I, personally, think dragons are some of the coolest monsters ever. [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]

As for Tolkiens dragons, i guess everyone kind of assumes their evil. I mean, when they were controlled by Morgoth they were way evil and they were created to be evil.

The dark jewels of Morgoth's genius were the Great Worms called dragons.....
Their intelligence was renown but they had the flaws of vanity, gluttony, deciet and wrath

Sounds kind of like humans to me.

I guess when they were controlled they couldn't help being evil. And afterwards, they were just really, really greedy. Take Smaug, for example. The lake people ****ed him off, so he had every right to attack!!! He was just acting on greed.
