Ha! dragons are creatures of evil in Tolkien-ology, so I'm not exactly sure if they have free will or if they're born being nasty critters that eat people and stuff. [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img] I like Tolkien's classing of dragons, though. There's the winged fire-drakes (Smaug) & the ice-drakes, and the kind with no breath or wings, and ones that live underground. (I think.)Beyond that, I'm not too clear about dragons Tolkien wrote about.
But I, for one, think dragons are (or should be) just as intelligent as humans, or more; they vary according to their body structure and fire-breathing capabilities; and they have the capacity to kick serious tail! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
