It’s been a while since my last research post; I wanted to make those kind of posts a regular thing. But stuff happened, and long story short, I wasn’t able
to. Well, this is me trying to amend for that, and I’m doing it explosively.
You read the title, and yup, that's right. This one is all about the big, the bad, and the awesome… dragons.

Smaug is all the rage these
days, and you can’t argue his popularity. He’s big, he’s bad, he single
claw-dedly (fang-dedly?) drove out every dwarf from their home in the mountain
Erebor, and made their pile of gold his personal couch. What’s not to like?
The Hobbit was written almost 80
years ago, and Smaug certainly wasn’t by the last dragon to be written about
since then… but neither was it the first. Dragon lore has existed since pretty
much ancient times, and out of curiosity and boredom, I went off and researched
what I could find online.
