Smaug fell from the sky and destroyed Lake-town. Bard shot a black arrow into the hollow over Smaug's breast and fatally wounded him. 6 The armor of the Dragon protected him from the arrows of the defenders until the thrush told Bard the Bowman of the weak spot. 5 Smaug therefore left the mountain to attack Lake-town and set the town on fire. When he told the Dwarves of the weak spot he was overheard by a thrush.īilbo had called himself "barrel-rider" in one of the riddles which led Smaug to believe the intruders had received help from the Men in Lake-town. Bilbo had seen what he wanted and fled back through the door. After Bilbo suggested that the Dragon was softer in the chest, Smaug rolled over and showed his armor and unknowingly revealed an unprotected spot over his left breast. Smaug mocked Bilbo over the idea of seeking revenge and boasted about his strength. Bilbo eventually revealed he had come not only for the treasure but for revenge. 5 The unknown scent of Hobbit puzzled Smaug. Come along! Help yourself again, there is plenty and to spare!īilbo did not tell Smaug who he was but told riddles of his identity. Well thief! I smell you and I feel your air. 5 However, Smaug only pretended to be asleep and challenged Bilbo. Using his ring to make himself invisible, Bilbo returned into the mountain when Smaug was asleep to look for a weak spot in the Dragon's armor. 3 Enraged by this, he left his chamber and ravaged the mountain but could not find the intruder.

Smaug developed an armor of gems and gold on his chest from lying on the treasure. 3Īs time went by, Smaug left the mountain and his treasure on fewer and fewer occasions and spent most of the time sleeping. The area immediately surrounding the Lonely Mountain became known as the Desolation of the Dragon. 1 He spent most of the years after this sleeping upon a bed of gold, only occasionally leaving the mountain to seek food and continue the destruction of Dale. 2 From Erebor only Thrór, King under the Mountain, and his son Thráin II managed to escape by using a secret side-door.Īfter laying waste to Dale, Smaug entered Erebor through the front door and claimed its' treasure for himself. 1 He came "like a hurricane coming from the North" and first descended upon the mountain before turning his attention towards Dale. 2770 when he attacked the city of Dale and the Dwarven kingdom of the Lonely Mountain, also known as Erebor. 2770, he attacked the Lonely Mountain and the town of Dale and claimed the treasure of the mountain as his own.
