	Encyclopedia of Arda: Glaurung
		Glaurung was the first of the Dragons, and one of the greatest.
		In the Dagor Bragollach and the Nirnaeth Arnoediad, Glaurung was in the vanguard of Morgoth's forces, and having grown to his full power, he wreaked great destruction on those battlefields.
		Glaurung led the assault by Morgoth on Nargothrond, and there came across Túrin for the first time.

		It is significant that the most prominent of his many studies in Anglo-Saxon literature should be his published lecture on 'Beowulf: The Monsters and the Critics' (1936).
		As a child Tolkien had loved dragon stories and the anonymous Anglo-Saxon Beowulf-poet created one of the greatest dragons of literature, a model for Tolkien's treasure-loving dragons in The Hobbit and “Farmer Giles of Ham”, as well as his creation of malice and terror, Glaurung of The Silmarillion.
		Throughout his life, Tolkien was drawn to the challenge of creating an imagined world and mythology.

	Do Balrogs have wings, and can they fly? (The Truth About Balrogs, Vol. 6)
		Still, it is also possible that JRRT made this change himself on a late manuscript which was used for the published version.
		"In the front of that fire came Glaurung the golden, father of dragons, in his full might; and in his train were Balrogs, and behind them came the fl armies of the Orcs in multitudes such as the Noldor had never before seen or imagined."
		As Glaurung was wingless and flightless it is suggested that Balrogs being 'in his train' implies that they were the same.
