Did Smaug serve Sauron?

Did Smaug serve Sauron?

Is Smaug's eye Sauron?

Who would win Sauron or Smaug?

Smaug doesn't come close to defeating Sauron. Don't care if Sauron is not a combatant, even in combative strength, he stomps the Golden Dragon. Sauron is Morgoth's greatest servant and has a legion of feats to go off of as well as many scalings— scaling which would make him dwarf Smaug in power.

Is Smaug mentioned in Lord of the Rings?

Can Smaug destroy the One Ring?

Could Smaug have destroyed the one ring when Bilbo was at the Lonely Mountain in The Hobbit? Dragons fire did end some of the Dwarf rings. But no such force could end the one ring.

Is Smaug really the last dragon?

What was the connection between Sauron and Smaug?

• The only link between Smaug and Sauron was their connection to the first Dark Lord, Morgoth, Sauron was Morgoth’s chief lieutenant and the first dragons were bred in the First Age by Morgoth. However, the Morgoth’s dragons were capable of breeding on their own, and Smaug was probably several generations removed from those first dragons.

Is there a connection between Smaug and Morgoth?

• There’s no direct connection. Smaug was the last of the great fire drakes of the north (quite possibly not the last dragon, but apparently the last one to be relevant to history), and the race of dragons was ultimately a creation of Sauron’s former master, Morgoth. That doesn’t mean they were allied, or that Smaug in any way worked for Sauron.

How does Smaug know about the ring in The Hobbit?

• Presumably Fran Walsh, the screen writer, had the idea that, like the minions of Sauron, Smaug would sense the ring and be "drawn to it", almost like a ring wraith, or at least be aware of its nature at some level. As for Smaug's knowledge of Sauron, this is not mentioned in the book, but of course a dragon would know such things.

Who was Sauron in The Lord of the Rings?

• Sauron was powerful, but he was no Morgoth. There's no evidence in The Hobbit or The Lord of the Rings that Smaug (or any other dragons in the Withered Heath) was receiving any directives from Sauron, or felt the presence of Sauron.
