3. Smaug – Most Popular Dragons
Over the years writer J. R. R. Tolkien has created the most fascinating characters in literature, Smaug – the fire drake is one of them. He is probably the only dragon that has as many as 15 different names (Smaug the Magnificent, Smaug the Terribe, Smaug the Mighty etcetera). He first appeared as an antagonist in the 1937 novel ‘The Hobbit,’ where he is described as ‘most specially greedy, strong and wicked worm.’ He lived in a den on the Lonely Mountain where he guarded all the treasures. This one’s a badass, better steer clear of him. And btw, Benedict Cumberbatch had provide the voice and motion-capture for Smaug in Peter Jackson’s trilogy.
