Smaug - to terrorise an entire town just by sleeping next to it is surely the sort of power to which all dragons must aspire!

Breathing fire upon those who annoy me - I always regret it moments later, but what can you

Caithfidh mé a admháil, I spend a lot of money on my nails - pedicures are a dragon’s best
